I've just downloaded and installed Self for the first time on my
PowerMac G5 running Leopard 10.5.8.
At the shell prompt, the VM seems to work:
$ selfSelf Virtual Machine Version 4.1.13, Sat 22 Nov 03 15:04:49 Mac
OSXCopyright 1989-2003: The Self Group (type _Credits for credits)
for PPC: FastMapTest = falsefor PPC: LogVMMessages = truefor PPC:
PrintScriptName = truefor PPC: Inline = truefor PPC:
SICDeferUncommonBranches = falsefor PPC: SICReplaceOnStack = falsefor
PPC: SaveOutgoingArgumentsOfPatchedFrames = trueVM#^D$
But if I try to load a snapshot, either Clean.snap or demo.snap, I get
this:
$ self -s /library/self/0/Demo-4.4.snapSelf VM fatal error
(/Users/russellallen/Git-All/vm/mac_osx/vm_project/../../src/any/memory/\
universe.cpp, line 544): Snapshot is corrupt near: New generation, file

Self process 19263 on GLTMac-2.local has crashed.Do you want to: 1)
Quit Self (optionally attempting to write a snapshot) 2) Try to print
the Self stack 3) Try to return to the Self prompt 4) Force a core
dump 5) Print the interrupted context registersYour choice: 1Enter
snapshot name (hit return to omit snapshot) > No snapshot specified,

Some google searching turned up a problem that at first glance looked
similar, but it appeared to be Windows-specific. It had to do with unix
vs. windows line termination.
Ideas on this one?
