Andreas,

Does your image have the fix from Mantis 1041?

"Under certain conditions the low space watcher was unable to determine the
correct process to suspend following a low space signal. These changes permit
the VM to remember the identity of the process that caused the low space
condition, and to report it to the image through a primitive."

Low space notification was badly broken for quite a while, including 3.8
images, but should be somewhat less broken after applying this change.
This might affect Squeakland or OLPC images, I'm not sure.
