I add I usually test all John stuff and details of OS is:
Squeak 3.6.0Beta3 on Mac OS 9.x and 10.3.x
Squeak 3.7.3Beta4 on Mac OS 9.x and 10.3.x

And could add Ian Unix Vm
Squeak-3.7b-5 on  Mac OS X 10.3.x only

This one have some problems with file naming conventions on mac.
I think both VM are in the process to converge very soon.
