I had tried this version with the same result, but then noticed that a
previously installed VM on my machine (3.2-5) had the files
SqueakFFIPrims.so and SqueakFFIPrims.la in the executables directory
while the current one (3.7-7) doesn't. Copying the file you sent to the
old directory and running that I no longer got the segment fault. I
still got two errors "external callout not available" since it is
looking for the file "libffi.so.1" which isn't available on my machine.

So the image was ok and the parallelplugin probably is ok as well but my
Linux Squeak isn't configured correctly for FFI. That, unfortunately,
seems to be the default.
