This sounds like the old UUID bug:

Mantis 7358: UUID>>initialize may crash VM for some images
http://bugs.squeak.org/view.php?id=7358

The problem affects some Linux platforms. The apparent fix is to build
the plugin internally.

That doesn't really solve the problem. I couldn't use the official release 
on a machine, because the UUID plugin crashed. Since it was built as an
internal plugin, I couldn't get rid of it, so I had to rebuild the VM.

I think that we had managed to convince ourselves that building the plugin
internally makes the problem go away. Apparently that is not the case here.

Just to be clear, when you rebuilt the VM to eliminate the UUID problem,
did you build it with no UUIDPlugin at all, or are you saying that recompiling
on your own machine was sufficient to correct the problem?

Thanks,
Dave
