For whatever reason, the problem seems to decrease with the time that an
image is open.  On more than one computer I've had a 100% crash rate if
I download the 4743 image and attempt to resize the window a couple of
times (yes, by grabbing the lower right corner) within a few minutes of
first starting squeak with the image.  If I start cleaning up (delete
the squeak logo, close some of the documents and the change browser,
close World of Squeak, etc.) then the likelihood of a crash seems to
decrease.  I've also found the hitting the wm's maximize button does not
seem to lead to a crash (I'm guessing because there is only one resize
event occurring rather than the flood from a manual resize) so this is
what I have gotten in the habit of doing.
