Re: VW 9.3.1 on macOS

The macOS VM is 64-bit only as is current hardware.=20

I didn't try running 32-bit images, which are apparently converted on =
the fly (as your experiments suggest) and that conversion is obviously =
more robust against major version jumps than running a natively saved =
64-bit image. My guess is that there are subtle differences in the =
64-bit image format.
