A major problem, as I see it, is that filing in packages is slow, so you would want your scripting image to have all of the packages that you might want to use pre-loaded. That will tend to make the image file large, which inevitably makes the startup time slower. Will your changes to the image format enable packages to be provided as image segments? > #basicPrint is meant for debugging, so it is not very interesting to > make it write to a socket.

Ah, well, this is because I'm using Behavior >> #evaluate:, which means I can't handle the backtrace myself. I was having problems with STInST, and wanted something quick and dirty. (besides, how will I know which socket to map?)
