Cool! CI's duly updated, and the latest build
(http://build.squeak.org/job/SqueakTrunkOnSpur/16/) shows great
improvement. It completes the entire test suite without crashing. I do
see this:

sqAllocateMemorySegmentOfSizeAboveAllocatedSizeInto mmap: Cannot allocate memory
sqAllocateMemorySegmentOfSizeAboveAllocatedSizeInto mmap: Cannot allocate memory
sqAllocateMemorySegmentOfSizeAboveAllocatedSizeInto mmap: Cannot allocate memory
sqAllocateMemorySegmentOfSizeAboveAllocatedSizeInto mmap: Cannot allocate memory
sqAllocateMemorySegmentOfSizeAboveAllocatedSizeInto mmap: Cannot allocate memory
sqAllocateMemorySegmentOfSizeAboveAllocatedSizeInto mmap: Cannot allocate memory

and there are 45 failing tests, but that's significant improvement!
