squeak portability problem

Hello,

I tried the image small.image form www.squeak.org, not on a PDA, but on
a PC, with Windows as well as Linux.

The Windows version went black. The Linux version however seemed to have
a check for this and thus returned an error message "depth 1 not
supported".

Further checks made clear that a depth lower than 16 (8 or 1) could not
in anyway be set on either Windows or Linux Squeak 2.4c. This is in
conflict with the promise that Squeak code would run on any machine that
has a VM for it. So how on earth could this be?

(I would understand off course, PDA's not being able to do depths > 1,
but the other way around should do.)

Greets,

Stefan
