GsUpgrader does not install or upgrade Seaside ... GsUpgrade upgrades
GLASS/GLASS1, Grease and Metacello ...

A virgin 3.1.0.6 (extent0.seaside.dbf) does not have the latest Grease,
Metacello or GLASS1 installed so GsUpgrade, upgrades those packages ...
Once you've done the upgrade, the install of Seaside should run smoothly ...

I am running tests of GsUpgrader against virgin installs from 2.4.4.1, to
3.2.2 and many of the version in between[1] and they are all passing ...

I believe that one set of problems come from attempting to use GsUpgrader
in images that have already had some combination of Metacello/GLASS1/Grease
installed ... I would like to be able to characterize those types of
problems so that I can bullet-proof the GsUpgrader script ... the offset
error that you reported this morning helps me to bullet-proof GsUpgrader[2]

Another set of problems is very likely due to the out-of-memory problem
reported by Johan ... in fact once I reproduce Johan's problem in my lab, I
might start to see the other problems as well ...
