If I try 100000 factorial on the Mac in a trunk 4.2 image and I hit command-. the debugger does not appear. If, on the Mac with the same VM, I try 100000 factorial in my Qwaq-derived image the debugger comes up immediately I hit command-. . So the difference is not the platform, but the image.
To test that idea, I tried adding "SmalltalkImage current quitPrimitive" after the "InterruptSemaphore wait" in InputSensor>>userInterruptWatcher, and squeak shuts down quickly after I hit the interrupt key with the 100000 factorial test, so that seems to support this.
