Hmm, I think it is probably possible to apply the same kind of BLT patch 
to 2.4 and get a working version with Tcl/Tk 8.5.  I think Fedora's 
built of BLT 2.4 just overlooked that case because it requires using the 
BLT `busy' feature to create the crash.   Probably better to stick with 
BLT 2.4 instead of 3.0 to minimize confusion.   Because then there isn't 
a need to do the extra initialization steps for BLT 3.0, Swarm won't 
need any modification for that.

As far as the Swarm versioning goes, I haven't touched the VERSION file 
forever.   Let me know if the BLT tweak works for Tcl/Tk 8.5 and I'll 
bump it to 2.2.5 and tag it.   But no point in doing that till you have 
it working as further changes may be needed (for whatever reason).
