Tim, I does not appear to be an image problem.

Frank did add this later after retracting the squeak change That's correct: patching #nextChunkPut: almost certainly masks the underlying problem, and the more experience Squeakers strongly suggested I revert. I'll post updates as they happen. If I were experiencing this problem I suspect I'd make the fix and move on rather than re-experience the problem over and over. Also see if your Linux distro has fixed it on their end.
