Martin - and others of course - what exactly do you want a 64bit vm for? Do you really need more than 4gb sized object memory spaces? What benefit is there to running a 64bit integer baesed vm with a 32bit oop based image? Perhaps I'm forgetting something but it doesn't seem like anything terribly useful.

Well, I'm running a 64bit Linux and I don't want to change into a 32bit environment to run squeak. That's all. And it works for me. The memory access bug is fixed. And if I get some positive feedback from Philippe about the network bug I will post a CS for VMMaker.
Sorry it took me so long. Seaside works (did before), Monticello crashes no more. So I'd say it works for me so far.
There are of course a lot of plugins who don't work (cast from pointer to integer of different size). Many of them I don't miss (graphic, sound, ...). Among those I miss cUrl, could anybody get this to compile? But UUID works.
Cheers Philippe
From my point of view it's just a matter of having the choice. And I think people should have the choice If we can provide it.
