Just confirmed Archer is crashing - error appears to be in Itcl evaluation, eventually wiping out in Tcl's TclSpellFix. Not sure yet if this is the Tcl upgrade to 8.6.13 or some other issue.

OK, first indication is it's not Tcl per say - older system install does the same thing.

Itcl 3.4.4 looks like the immediate cause

What’s the symptom (how do you get archer to crash?)?

Is that something that could be patched in an Itcl file or is it down in C land?

It looks like a straight-up bug in Itcl itself - the most recent commits document the links to relevant info. Fortunately, it was straightforward to avoid just the one problematic change.
