This may be relevant -- I get the same problem trying to load the xml package in tclsh8.5, and in 8.4 it crashes if I ask it to parse a non-xml string! See this sample session:
$ wish
% info patchlevel
8.4.19
% package require xml
3.1
% set paza [::xml::parser]
xmlparser0
% $paza reset
% $paza parse rubbish
Segmentation fault
$

I have an up-to-date 32-bit Ubuntu 9.04 system on a dual core Macbook.

The crash does not happen on PC with Ubuntu 8.04

fortyfourgalena@desktop1:~$ wish
% info patchlevel
8.4.16
% package require xml
3.1
% set paza [::xml::parser]
xmlparser0
% $paza reset
% $paza parse rubbish
{parser fatal document-empty {} 1 {Document is empty
} 0 1}
%

PS I've now reported it as a bug.
