I tried this on the 10.3 beta that I have (from about a month back) and
indeed I get a core dump while trying to create the pltcl call handler.
Steps to reproduce:
configure --with-tcl --without-tk (no tk support?)
make, make install, make installcheck are all ok
createlang pltcl regression
... kaboom ...
The stack trace looks like this:

But plpgsql works fine. Also, the same code works fine in OS X 10.2.*.
Seems like either the Tcl shared library is broken in 10.3, or Apple
broke something in the dynamic linker, or our dynamic-library-loading
code is doing something that was OK with 10.2 but isn't OK with 10.3.
I guess we need to call in some OS X experts ... Marko, can you take
a look?
BTW, the failure to restart after the crash is explained here:

I'll have that fixed for 7.4, but I dunno what to do about pltcl's
problem.
