Right. And that makes sense.

I wanted all three platforms to be the same (the Mac was not answering any
VM parameters at all, and Windows was returning the executable in -1). But
I missed that 0 was answering the executable name. It makes no sense for
Smalltalk getSystemAttribute: 0 and Smalltalk getSystemAttribute: -1 to
answer the same thing. I will change it (back) to
0 => executable name
-1 .. -n => VM arguments *including* image (if explicitly
supplied).
and do so on all platforms.
Thanks for spotting this.
