There is some changes to the event stuff in the 3.0.10 change set 
which is pending posting. This may or may not fix this problem. 
However I'll look into it Tuesday or so.

I'm planing on looking at the Squeak VM build via the Mac OS-X 
developer tools this coming week to see if we can build both an PEF 
binary for OS-9 and a mach-o version for OS-X. I just need a few days 
spare here to setup a machine with the official versions of 
everything and start building somewhere in my spare time before 
Smalltalk Solutions (Hah)

OS-8 is more of an issue. I didn't pay too much attention to versions 
of carbonlib when using various OS calls so I suspect some things 
just won't work with system 8.0 for example because of the version of 
carbonlib supported on that system. More testing is required to get 
things right. If people want to help in the compatibility testing 
that would be great, just send me a note. Now that OS-X is out it's 
easier to tinker with/talk about, without me violating some Apple NDA.
