On Mac OS X 10.5.8, using a fresh Squeak4.2-10548-alpha image...

These VM's work:

   Cog.app r2316
   Squeak 4.2.4beta1U.app
   Squeak 64-32 5.4b2.app

This one does not:

   Squeak 5.8b10.app

I get a stream of these, about 7 or 8 per second, in the system console:

06/10/10 5:16:39 PM Squeak[23499] invalid pixel format
06/10/10 5:16:39 PM Squeak[23499] invalid context
06/10/10 5:16:39 PM Squeak[23499] invalid pixel format
06/10/10 5:16:39 PM Squeak[23499] invalid context

The behaviour with PhareCore-1.1.1 is similar, except the error messages 
are less frequent.

Meanwhile, a window has popped up, but the Squeak/Pharo world is blank. 
I have to kill the process, since the close button and menu exit are 
probably waiting on a dialog I cannot see.

I actually want to use SqueakSSL, which reportedly works on the "Squeak 
5.8b10" VM.

BTW, other VM results are:

   Squeak 5.8b3.app - WORKS
   Squeak 5.8b4.app - WORKS
   Squeak 5.8b7     - CRASH
   Squeak 5.8b9.app - same behaviour as 5.8b10

Is OSX 10.5.8 supposed to work, or do I need to upgrade ?
