As far as I can tell, you didn't break anything at all :-) I didn't really
test anything, just loaded it into my image. But I saw no indication of
any problems.

The more interesting 64-bit support is coming from Eliot's new 64-bit Spur
image. That will provide some considerable performance advantages, and much
better memory management for large images. I expect that this will make it
practical to use very large in-memory Smalltalk images without performance
penalty. The image that I'm running is the Dan Ingalls/Ian Piumarta image
format, which was intentionally kept very simple and close to the 32-bit
Squeak image format. It works very well and allows use of very large images,
but for practical applications I think that the new object memory in Spur
will be essential.

Keep an eye on the squeak-dev and vm-dev lists if interested, Eliot is making
rapid progress on 64-bit Spur.
