I think I said that it was now using the same SqueakSource package source,
which I believe was somewhere around SqueakSource-dtl.1145 at that time.
But I have to apologize and retract that.

The squeaksource.com image is running on SqueakSource.sscom-dtl.1138
right now. I apologize because I think I sent you an mail saying that
I had switched to your package version, but apparently I didn't actually
get around to doing that on the server. I looked at this again a couple
of days ago so that I would respond to Tim's question about VNC and I
realize that although we did merge the code, I never did actually
activate the final version on squeaksource.com.

Unfortunately this turns out to be a good thing, because although the
merged version runs fine, it does not seem to work properly when
restarting a saved image.

If you would like to take a look at it that would be great. Install
update.sscom-dtl.5.mcm in a clean image and work from there. You
should be able to save the image, restart it, and everything should
still keep working. Then try loading whichever package version you
are using in the source.squeak.org image and see if it still works.
There should be no errors or debuggers opening when you restart the
saved image.

Dave
