[squeak-dev] ARMv8 linux VM segfault when scrolling MVC workspace

Hi Tim,

   if you can construct an image that at start up recreates the bug, without any user interaction, then I will look at it in gdb on my pi4 running manjaro. The trick is to start the doit with 
    Smalltalk snapshot: true thenQuit: true.
If you place the doit in an inspector on the morph that needs to be scrolled to cause the crash then the inspector should give you access to the variables that need to be messaged to scroll programmatically.

This is running on a PI 4, 64bit release of Raspberry Pi OS, 20892 image.
