I am not seeing the problem on the release image and VM running
on an older Ubuntu Linux. VM is 5.0-202206021410-64bit.

If I actually run the ancient vm - 5.0-202106302111-64bit (assert) - with the 6.0 image and try a simple `UnixProcess forkSqueak` then it looks like the original image/vm dies but the forked child *sort of* starts. I get a filestream primGetPosition: failure, which I imagine might not be a surprise from the comment. And of course, you can't do a clean quit at that point.
