A possible clue.  tclrk2 on Linux used to do something very similar 
(including the infinite loop) if the X server had died but the DISPLAY 
variable was set.

So I would investigate the XQuartz installation, maybe starting with a 
precautionary re-install of the latest non-beta version (currently 
2.8.5).  Then check package tcltk works correctly.
