error: TkExtra (instance) ?

[Erik Rauch]

I installed the Swarm 1.3.1 Debian binary package and successfully ran
the demos. But now all applications die with the same error message.
I don't know what might have changed to cause this - I don't think I
changed any libraries since the time it was working. I'm asking for
help since the error message I get is cryptic:

$ heatbugs 
error: TkExtra (instance)

Aborted

Here is the ldd output:
