The fix for "space low impossible to exit nor clic on button" in in BFAV
under the "Reviewed" tab. The title is:

  "Re: [bug][FIX] stack overflow crashes Squeak. (one-line fix attached)"

Note that this bug causes different symptoms for Squeak depending on whether
your VM allocates new object memory space dynamically. For example, if you
were using a Unix VM and you did not use the "-memory NN" command line
parameter, you would get the symptoms that you described above. So it is
a tricky bug, but fortunately the fix affects only one line of code.
