You're not the first with this problem and unfortunately this is not
the only problem the Squeak port of Toothpick has (one of the reasons
why we don't use it for Seaside). At least on squeak-dev people never
seemed to get a response. Maybe you're more lucky on this list or if
you try to contact the author directly  [1]  [2].
