If you have an Intel Macintosh, you should grab a new VM here:
http://hedgehog.software.umn.edu/croquet/Hedgehog/install/
Squeak3.8.12beta5UwithOpenAL.zip
This fixes a problem where Croquet worlds with OpenAL sounds
crash intermittently on Intel-flavored Macs, but work everywhere
else. The crash seems to be caused by a bug in the OpenAL libraries
that Apple is currently shipping with MacOS.
