Alan wrote me about some crashes he is getting by running Croquet. Thus  
I'm look for others that have experienced
the Squeak VM quitting when running the VM, if you have some easy way  
of creating this problem please email me.
Also having some other people with the issue would be helpful in  
debugging.

It seems an issue with 10.2.2, not 10.1.x.

You'll need to visit the Console application preference panel to turn  
logging of crashs on, and then after a crash look
in the UserIDISWhatever/Library/Logs/CrashReporter/Squeak VM  
Opt.crash.log for a log found below

Also if someone knows how to turn core dump on (ie creating core files)  
on os-x 10.2.2 then please let me know.

hint (this doesn't seem to work)

This is a partial log from Alan's machine for those who might have a  
clue about why it crashs.
