best place to report Tcl/Tk cygwin port problems?

What's the best place to report problems with the new unixish non-Insight Tcl/Tk Cygwin port? (8.5.11,
uptodate Cygwin on Win7 64bit)

I'm able to hang it by asking about non-existent files/directories on the filesystem:

$ tclsh
% set a [file exists /cygdrive ]
1
% set a [file exists /cygdrive2 ]
(hangs, must ctrl-c, should report 0)

$ tclsh
% set a [file exists /gffg ]
(hangs, must ctrl-c, should report 0)

$ tclsh
% set a [file exists /bin ]
1
% set a [file exists /usr ]
1
% set a [file exists /banana ]
0
% set a [file exists /gffg ]
(hangs, must ctrl-c, should report 0)

and I'm also seeing some Tk oddities with e.g. tiling of PhotoImages in my app that aren't present on other platforms.

thanks,

Did you install it using Cygwin's setup.exe from one of the default mirrors? If
so, here, following the problem reporting instructions at
<http://cygwin.com/problems.html>. If not, report it to whoever you got the
package from.
