Okay, with launchd it takes several minutes at least (it's still running).
Attaching gdb tells me Tk_DrawChars() is where it spending its time.
And even though I'm running ctest with the "-V" option, I'm not getting
any output.  So, yeah, I think that vtk is trying to write to the tk console
instead of writing to stdout.  So Bill's tclsh patch will hopefully fix that.
