jep, we just save the data in ref streams on each change. But there was 
a "primitive has failed" exception from UnixFileDirectory... so 
something went wrong after the 28th...

hm. Actually SqueakSource was not running anymore after their change on 
Saturday. Then Lukas restarted it and it seemed to work. At least 
committing worked.

When I looked at the image today, it was still running but didn't react 
anymore. And there were some open "Syntax Error" windows which I don't 
understand. Can somebody explain to me how there can be syntax errors 
during normal use? I mean, there was no code compiled... Actually I 
have seen those syntax errors recently on another server. Both are 3.7 
images. I've put a screen shot of those errors at: 
http://www.adrian-lienhard.ch/files/syntaxerrors.pdf, though I don't 
know if this helps much. Note also, the Transcript showing all those 
undeclared bits of code.

Anybody an idea what went wrong here?

Adrian
