Am I remembering right that clipboards are attached to displays under X? That might mean a headless vm has a null clipboard, and a null value often offends.

is that -1282466960 mean the stack and the image is > 2GB, then well one wonders...

Hi -

I've noticed this a couple of times now: When we run a Unix VM using -headless and connect to it using VNC any attempt to copy/paste is honored with a segfault. The VM output is this:

Segmentation fault

-1282466960 Clipboard>clipboardText -1282468224 Clipboard class>clipboardText -1282468316 ParagraphEditor>clipboardText -1282484648 ParagraphEditor>cut -1282485584 ParagraphEditor>cut: -1282489428 ParagraphEditor>dispatchOnCharacter:with: -1282489520 TextMorphEditor>dispatchOnCharacter:with: -1282489612 ParagraphEditor>readKeyboard -1282489704 TextMorphEditor>readKeyboard -1282505636 [] in TextMorph>keyStroke: -1282505728 TextMorph>handleInteraction:fromEvent: -1282505820 TextMorphForEditView>handleInteraction:fromEvent: -1282505964 TextMorph>keyStroke: -1282506056 TextMorphForEditView>keyStroke: -1282506148 TextMorph>handleKeystroke: -1282506516 KeyboardEvent>sentTo: -1282506608 Morph>handleEvent:

[... etc ...]

which seems to indicate that it's dying in the clipboard primitive. Any ideas what might be crashing the VM and how to fix that?

Thanks,
