Ah, you had me worried that this was a Connectors problem.

This is actually a problem with ShortPointArray's loading and storing.

On 2003-05-20, Enrico Bertini posted a
[FIX] MatrixTranform2x3-ShortPointArray-ShortRunArray

However, I found that this didn't work right, and on 2003-07-05 posted
[BUG] BitmapStreamTests

As I said in that post:
"This is an incomplete test suite for storing and reading various word-
and short-word subclasses of ArrayedCollection.

It demonstrates some problems with filing in of certain kinds of arrayed
objects.

In 3.6b-5331, I get 8 passed/6 failed/6 errors."

This test was added to the BaseImage Tests package on SqueakMap.

As far as I know this is still broken in 3.7, and affects the storing of 
TrueTypeGlyphs and FlashCharacterMorphs.
