Bert,  Thanks for the info.  I downloaded the image you refer to and sure enough it is more recent.
When I try to load in my project now (about 3M in size), I don't get the TTCFont error, but I get 
a 'Space is low' error, where the debug log starts off with:

SystemDictionary>>signalLowSpace
...

I've got 1G of memory on my Linux box (and I'm running gentoo).  I'd be happy to post the project 
on a web page if you want it - we can take this offline if you like.  BTW, I am able to create a
new, tiny project and load it in successfully.

This isn't really a showstopper for me as I do most of my Squeaking on my Windows box (and soon my
Mac mini - if they ever really ship them!).  However, because I'll be showing this project at a
Purdue conference next week, and because I have a Squeak bullet that reads - "Runs on any computer",
I would like to see it run on Linux :)
