Hi Dave,
Turns out that the whole discussion was about the exact same version of the VM, so I guess it might still be released with a new version of the VM. The previous thread happened on squeak-dev:
http://n4.nabble.com/squeak-dev-3-11-3-2135-for-Unix-tt86054.html
Have fun,
Markus

Markus,
Can you provide a link to the earlier discussion,
