But it happens on a fresh 3.7 image.  In fact, the log I posted was from 
an out-of-the-box image having done nothing but navigated the menus to 
the SqueakMap package loader.  This seems to be a hint that it is a VM 
problem...maybe something's going wrong during my VM builds.  I'll 
install Ian's stock VM and see if that makes a difference.  Thanks.
