Can the control.image talk to working.image asking it
to shrink to something like smallest.image ?
What's involved ? That would make a nice tutorial
for using Squat.

You already gave the cs (and interp.c) for changes
in the VM. I think that's good enough.
What I meant are the cs (or dare I say mcz ;-) for
the Squat related classes.
I thought it might help TFNR to have Squeak beheaded ;-).
Anyway, it's your call.

I can confirm that it's the image that's causing the problem
because the old image run OK with the new flow plugin.
Maybe it's a combination of new control.image and new flow.
Hope this helps.
