Hi,
I've just been bitten by the mini.image: Shortly after startup, the VM process freezes my computer by completely hogging the CPU. I was stumped by #>> not being understood and but didn't interact with Squeak the moment it started freaking out. Luckyily, I could kill the process from the console.
The second time it happened, I never interacted with Squeak. At the time, the process had been alive for a minute or two. I had to reset the machine.
Anyway, I'm using squeak 3.9.8-2 from http://ftp.squeak.org (debian package, could upgrade to 3.9.8-3) on Linux/i386. The VM works fine with other images (vanilla, ByteSurgeon, ...). I didn't find the mini.image on the net -- my thesis tutor, Michael Haupt, mailed it to me. I'm not sure it's the vanilla one (but I didn't save any changes). If anyone wants to check the MD5 hash:

Has anyone else experienced this behavior?
Thanks, André
