:: This image set should have all the latest bug-fixes so /may/

I've added some output what messages are sent:

Console
atSlotNamed:
write:to:from:startingAt:
Bootstrapping libraries... (this may take a while. Save the image when
done).
ByteArray
Slate: Growing heap to 4786844 bytes.

This is not much...

Then I stopped the process and it was looping in
PSObjectHeap_findNextFree(), because the PSObject_totalSize() call
returns zero for an object at address 4934080 (heap starts at around
4300000). The object is a FormatObject type. Its map is at 0x004300a0
(early on the heap...)

So the hang is at the first time the gc is triggered and there's a zero
sized object somewhere in the bootstrapped image. This is strange
because it should be the same on unices, too.

Novo, if you have any questions I'll be able to look at it early today
your time, or at monday.
