For all of you with SUN workstations, or similar machines that complain
about deferencing null pointers, and who tried compiling my PD smalltalk
system that was just posted to comp.src.unix, there is a small problem....

In the file name.c, routine newSymbol, there is a line

newSym = basicAt(symbols, hash+1);
if (streq(str, charPtr(newSym)))

which should be

newSym = basicAt(symbols, hash+1);
if (newSym && streq(str, charPtr(newSym)))

so sorry.
