Hello Tim,

a few days ago I described the same under windows here and I guess
Michael (mir) is aware of the fact but just very busy.

My private use is to just go until Squeak 3.8.2.a, latest update: #6748

I use this for some time in production  but I had no problems with
3.8.1 too. I also tested up to #6749 but want to keep #6748 in case
Michae wants me to test from this stat on.

#6749 and #6750 are very recent so if you updated your PPC machine
more than a week ago, today you should find the same problems.

But a check wouldn't hurt :-)
