Thanks Dave.  Hmm, I am not seeing any of errors you are.  Could there
be a difference in our VM's or something else?

How about would you run the tests with Squeak's great System Reporter
so we can compare our contexts and figure out why failing for you?

Here's mine with Image, MC Working Copies, VM General and SUnit.
