I've got 2G of memory on my physical machine.  The core dump is just  
under 200M (from a ~40M image).  Will I need to start Squeak with  
extra memory?  How do I determine the correct start/end address?  And  
it looks like the bits of the original process is split into a whole  
bunch of chunks in the core dump.  Will the interpreter simulator be  
able to handle that?

Thanks,
David
