The crash.dmp is fairly helpful here- 
downloaded package  is for Squeak5.3-19431-32bit-202003021730-ARMv6

The specific VM -
Squeak VM version: 5.0-202003021730  Tue Mar  3 09:42:45 UTC 2020 gcc 4.9.2 [Production Spur VM]
Built from: CoInterpreter VMMaker.oscog-nice.2712 uuid: da64ef0b-fb0a-4770-ac16-f9b448234615 Mar  3 2020

The image is the absolute plain release image; it crashes so immediately that there isn't time to change anything at all.

From the stack etc it looks as if something within SmalltalkImage>setGCParameters (so immediately after the return from snapshot primitive) calls vsprintf() and has a little conniption. Not clear whether the issue is in the vmParameterAt: or the vmParameterAt:put: yet.

I'll try to peek at the vm code later but I'm pretty swamped right now.
