Hmmm... I tried saving & quitting, then downloading SqueakV39.sources.gz from http://squeak.org/Download/, unzipping this and copying the resulting SqueakV39.sources into my workspace and re-running my Squeak vm and I can still reproduce the error.

I am also not sure what you mean by contemporary Squeak, but I am running this on Linux Fedora, with the latest squeak-vm which I installed using yum as follows:

$ yum install squeak-vm

$ squeak -version

As for the love of debugging, let's just say that I'm sharing the love. :-) Actually, I'd love to see this software work - it seems like a really neat language toolset.

Thanks again,

OK, I see where you're coming from. When I use Ubuntu 10.03 I get Squeak by going to http://www.squeak.org and in the upper right hand corner is the Downloads pane with a link that says All-In-One. Click that. I put the unzipped package on my desktop. Then I cd into Squeak-All-In-One.app. Once in there there is a script called squeak.sh.

./squeak.sh

in the Terminal and all that sources stuff is behind you. It'll open up, etc. The deployment with yum is understandable, but that stuff relies upon third parties whom are behind our update curve. The Squeak homepage is the best place to get Squeak.
