It's not critical in the sense that it fixes anything regular uses
might notice.  It fixes a testsuite hang when some testcase hits a tcl
error, IOW, when a testcase has some buglet.  Pedro ran into such a hang
more than once, so it'd likely help testers if the patch was merged.
I think the patch itself is pretty low risk.  I think it'd be OK to put
it in the branch.

Thanks,
