I'd appreciate advice (offline unless you think it would be generally useful) regarding the relative stability of, say, linux and windoze builds of 64-bit Squeaks known (or thought) to run with over a terabyte of objects, and also where there may be some pre-built 64-bit images (sorry if this is in an obvious place).  Finally (since I've mainly used a Mac for Squeak) I guess I'll have to know how to tell it how big to be, or would it grow gracefully if I just said "(String new: 1000000000000) size" in a normal image?

Dave Lewis has been working on 64 bit stuff, he surely will respond (and please keep responses on list, this is rather interesting). A recent image is here:

I think there isn't even much experience with a Gigabyte-sized image ...
