Generally I'm impressed at Pharo's stability given depth of the
surgery that is sometimes done on it - but after all it is bleeding
edge and sometimes things get in a bind.  Since all the tools are
built and run inside the Image, sometimes its a bit like changing the
tyres on a moving car - but there is the advantage that we are
*always* eating our own dogfood.

So if occasionally if everything seems against you, after trying a
fresh Image as you already did,  slide back to the last build that
worked for you (I don't think the issues you experience are Spur
related, but 50496 might be a good fallback as Pre-Spur and
Pre-GTDebugger).  Then create a fresh Image from the latest build to
test your Slice and in that time maybe the other issues have gone.
