Looking through the archives, I found Doug Way's email that pointed to
a more recent VM for the Mac as the solution to the problem:
http://lists.squeakfoundation.org/pipermail/squeak-dev/2004-March/
076388.html
So I downloaded the "3.7.2Beta1 OS X VM" from John McIntosh's file
sharing page:
http://homepage.mac.com/WebObjects/FileSharing.woa/wa/
default?user=johnmci&templatefn=FileSharing.html&xmlfn=TKDocument.1.xml&
sitefn=RootSite.xml&aff=consumer&cty=US&lang=en
and all seems to work fine again.
Since it seems likely that all Mac OS X users will hit the same problem
with the VM provided in the current download, I'd suggest that the
current download package be upgraded right away. Of course, I don't
know what other problems may lurk in the 3.7.xBeta VM.
Thanks to John M. and Doug W. for solving my problem.
