Thanks Alistair!
How did you choose that specific commit? (How can I tell what is current next
month, and the month after, etc?)
I periodically download the current VM and check the version:

$ curl get.pharo.org | bash
$ ./pharo --version

Looking through the text above you can see which repository was used for the build:

VM: 201705310241 https://github.com/OpenSmalltalk/opensmalltalk-vm.git

and the timestamp from the commit:

Clone the repository, check out the Cog branch, and search through the
log for the appropriate commit timestamp:

git clone https://github.com/OpenSmalltalk/opensmalltalk-vm.git
        cd opensmalltalk-vm
        git checkout 6a63f68
Esteban has done some work on Iceberg and the 64 bit VM, so I'd expect
    a new one soon.
Cheers,
