> I spoke too soon.  So there are two problems, one Mac specific, and one to
do with my image conversion.  When I start up the converted 32-bit image it
does indeed crap out with an "Unwind error during termination" error when
installing the lowSpaceWatcher.  Here's the stack:

    UndefinedObject(Object)>>doesNotUnderstand: #resume
    Context>>return:
    SmalltalkImage>>lowSpaceWatcher
    [] in SmalltalkImage>>installLowSpaceWatcher

I do apologize for my premature response.  I'm taking a look now.  There
are assert failures long before the error so I should b able to fix the
issue quickly.
