[Vm-dev] Trying to make systemTracer write a CogImage

[Guillermo Polito]

Ok, I'm writing the image header as with the extra words.  But my image is
kind of not living.  It seems the Display is not waking up.

When I open my new image with a cog vm, I get an image that does not break,
but comes up with a window in black. I sent a SIGUSR1 to the vm Process and
get the following.

All Smalltalk process stacks (active first):

Most recent primitives
relinquishProcessorForMicroseconds:
relinquishProcessorForMicroseconds:
...
(more relinquishProcessorForMicroseconds:)


Now, looking at the primitives called, It seems the idle process is living
but not giving any place to the other processes...  any ideas?  Does cog do
something different with processes at system startup?

Thanks!
Guille
