Markus,

That's one of those things that's a little different from VM to VM. The Mac seems to return nil here and whoever did the bug report code was probably running a Linux or Windows VM which returns something non-nil. You can get around this by changing #vmVersion to:

vmVersion	"Smalltalk vmVersion"
	"Return a string identifying the interpreter version"
	^(self getSystemAttribute: 1004) ifNil: ['']

Cheers,
Bob
