Thanks for providing the info ;-)

It looks like the problem is caused by the invalid clipping rectangle here:

 > 		clipRect: 	0 at 1073772165 corner: 30 at 1010

but it's completely unclear to me how we'd end up with a clipping 
rectangle like this. Are you perhaps using a multi-monitor setup or some 
sort of virtual desktop software? If so, can you try to see if the same 
thing happens when you run Squeak on the primary display? Or is Squeak 
minimized when the problem occurs?

Also, when the error happens, can you go back into the emergency 
evaluator, and print out the result of the following expressions:

   World bounds.
   Display extent.
   DisplayScreen actualScreenSize.

This should tell us a little more about the issue.

Cheers,
   - Andreas
