HI,  
  
You're right.  I have the following with top to bottom:  
  
Pi 3, Rasp PI OS based on Debian Stretch 9.0, Squeak 6.0alpha 20509, VM Cog[spur] built from 20210109.  
Pi 400, Rasp PI OS based on Debian Buster 10.0,  Squeak 6.0alpha 20509, VM Cog[spur] built from 202109  
x86-64 Linux, Mint 20.1 (ubuntu 20.4), Squeak 6.0alpha 20509, VM Cog[spur] built form 20210109.  
Windows x86-64, Win 10, Squeak 6.0alpha 20509, VMCog[spur] built from 20200302.  I think that's the release VM for windows.  
  
and finally a broken one.  
Armv8, Debian 18.4 (I think), Squeak6.0alpha 20509, but VM built 20210324.  I'll move back to the older VM and try again.  
  
cheers
