[self-interest] Self on Panther

[Josh Flowers]

As a follow up, how does one debug a problem like this?

I'm familiar with OS X (not so much with carbon, but I could figure out 
what I needed to know), and wouldn't mind looking into the problem 
if/when I've got the time, but I have almost no knowledge of how the 
self VM works.  Are there any good documents describing the self VM's 
implementation?  I've looked around, but have yet to come up with 
anything.

Thanks,

josh
