Re: [Help-smalltalk] gst-remote in git HEAD

Are you on amd64? If so, that's the same as

No, it's a NULL-pointer access.  The mprotect fails, so GNU Smalltalk
decides it's a real SIGSEGV rather than one that is handled by the
generational garbage collection machinery.

tzset, probably.  I should fix that.
