Hiya!
Now this issue popped up again. And I have no idea how or why. Anyway, the primitive called from #loadSegmentFrom:outPointers: fails and returns nil.
Not sure how to figure this one out. Right now I am playing around with optimizations but switching everything off didn't help either, I am not sure it is an optimization thing - at least not in the VM.

PS. Not filing a bug report just yet, because I am not sure that I haven't goofed this somehow...
Hi again!
New findings are in. It appears that it has nothing to do with optimization in GCC (3.3.3). When I start a squeak (any image) it simply fails on the described primitive. BUT... if I start *another squeak* with same or another image then it works in *that* squeak!
Hehe... sounds to me there is some funkiness going on with some shared whatchamacallits.
Since I just discovered that SSE2 is very shaky on a Pentium-M I need to rebuild my whole laptop (sigh) over the night - perhaps the problem goes away then.
