John, having finally given up on MS and Linux  :), I finally decided to 
purchase a mac and luxuriate.   ahhh.    I bought it yesterday and got 
Croquet running under OSX 10.2.1, *i think this was before upgrading to 
10.2.2*.   I couldn't restart a croquet image if I left the Teapot 
open.  It would hang, however I don't recall if opt-apple-esc allowed 
me in or not.

After upgrading to 10.2.2, starting a teaport would load all the way 
(close connect dialog), then it would  hang the machine.   I have no 
crash logs - because it didn't actually crash - but I have it enabled.  
I'm working my way up to being able to build the vm....grumble, 
grumble, cvs and ssh.

btw, if you switch to the bash shell, then the cmd is ulimit -c.   osx 
is unix!?!   is that cool or what? :)

cheers,
rob
