Help, Squeak is not responding

When I start up squeak from the command line I get my typical Squeak window.  
Most of the contents are from the last run of squeak (sometimes they are all 
there, sometimes not) but Squeak is not responding to anything.  Alt-. 
doesn't work, no menus come up when I click the buttons, nothing.  I also 
don't see any indication in SqueakDebug.log of what is going on.

Has anyone seen this before?  Does anyone know of anything I can do to try to 
figure out what is going on?

The image is a 3.7gamma image.  I don't recall what the last update was, 
however I believe that I have gotten all changes since without proceeding to 
a 3.8 alpha image.

The output of 'squeak -version' is:
jrogers@<host>:~/squeak> squeak -version
3.7b-5 #2 Tue Apr  6 20:38:14 CEST 2004 gcc egcs-2.91.66
Squeak3.7beta of '1 April 2004' [latest update: #5868]
Linux pingu.inria.fr 2.2.19-6.2.7 #1 Thu Jun 14 07:51:10 EDT 2001 i686
default plugin location: /usr/lib/squeak/3.7b-5/*.so


The final question is this... If I am not able to salvage the image, is there 
anyway to recover what is contained in there?  My newest copy of the image is 
from Sept 20 of this year (bad programmer, bad!).

Thanks in advance.
