Just as a follow up to this - since not running fullscreen (as in not click on the green expand button in OSX) and having saved my image once - the stability seems to be much better. Iâve had an image running in the background for over a week now with no issue (whereas before it crashed in less than 24 hours) So I guess I should try another experiment with fullscreen but a saved image (my hypothesis is that its the initial saving that really makes the difference).

Having said this - Iâm still not having the smooth ride others are reporting - and 7 is still suspect to me.
Indeed, the Pharo stability (or any other software) depends on several factors: in your case OSX, fullscreen, P7 image and VM, plugin. Also likely, not many of us are using Pharo fullscreen
Iâm kind of suprised this isnât getting much traction from the core team - and I wonder if I should post this on the dev list instead?
Reporting these kind of issues here seems to me as the right place. The dev list is dedicated to exchange related to the development of Pharo.
As your issue is likely related to the VM, you could report it to the VM list, there http://forum.world.st/Squeak-VM-f104410.html?
You may have some additional clues. While it is annoying to be under such circumstance when you just want to work on your project (been there many times), it could be a valuable contribution, eventually with self knowledge amplification outcome.
