I for one think it is a lot better than its reputation.

(I haven't seen this, works fine for me in Debian/stable tcltk 8.4)

Unfortunetly gdb isn't much use for mixed C and Tcl programs v.digit and
NVIZ. It debugs the C to the line where it says "start main Tcl
application" ... Which just tells you the bug is somewhere after the Tcl
part begins..

for more clues try:
 g.gisenv set="DEBUG=5"

(0 is off, 5 is most verbose)
