Which version of Squeak are you using and what is your latest update?
I'm seeing this in Windows with Squeak3.0 of 4 Feb 2001, latest update #3522
3.0 VM UNIX. Most recent 3.1 beta image... (all updates).. Not sure how to get the most recent update number out of squeak.
evaluate "Smalltalk lastUpdateString", for example - or in the brown tab "Squeak" flap on the left of the default image, click on "about this system"
Open up a 'package browser', pick any package group: ('System')
if I select something in the second pane at this point, the following doesn't crash
Then for the pane listing individual packages within that group, middle-click to get a menu, select 'add item'. It will ask if you want to add a package called 'Catagory-Name'. Type anything or just click 'OK'...
CRASH into debugger.
Hm, I dug a bit deeper, and found this change works for me: In Browser>>addSystemCategory ... self systemCategoryListIndex: (oldIndex = 0 ifTrue: [self systemCategoryList size] "this was 'ifTrue: [ systemOrganizer categories size ]'" ifFalse: [oldIndex]). ...
"systemOrganizer categories" gives all "traditional" categories (e.g. "System-Support", ...), while "self systemCategoryList" is overridden in the package browser to only return the (i.e. "Support" in package "); so basically the problem was that it tried to select the last "traditional" category in a (shorter) list of only sub-categories.
But I really don't know the Browser machinery, so someone who is in the know should probably have a look at it (or, as Andreas can't reproduce it, someone has probably already fixed it)
