can't load updates

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.
