Thanks Karl,

I tried the patch you sent, but this seems to be a different problem.
I think SqueakMap keeps some sort of validity checks on the file links
and/or its internal caches, which apparently get screwed up at random
times for no apparent reason. Oh, and I was wrong, I did not get the
AioPlugin entry working, it's just broken differently now. I probably
should not have tried to "fix" it.
