Summary: TK_NO_SECURITY doesn't work (for me?)

Initial Comment:
When building tk/8.3.2 I used the following in the
Makefile.in:

# To turn off the security checks that disallow
incoming sends when
# the X server appears to be insecure, reverse the
comments on the
# following lines:
#SECURITY_FLAGS      =
SECURITY_FLAGS    = -DTK_NO_SECURITY

I assume this is supposed to 'shut off' xauth security
checks when
running wish scripts on X servers.  However I have
always gotten the following message no matter what
version of wish I build and on what platform:

"Error: X server insecure (must use xauth-style
authorization); command ignored."

Is there something else I have to do when using
-DTK_NO_SECURITY?  Or has this never been
implemented/tested?  Are there any special instructions
to building
or installing 'unix/libtk8.3.so'?

Thanks
