Ok. I'll try again, going into more detail. I hope this will be of help. 
This is what I did, and how I found what I found:

1) Startted the image you saved at Dropbox.
2) See several red Warning windows. On any one of them, I click on [Debug]
3) In the debugger I see that someone is doing `Warning signal: stuff`. 
The sender doesn't appear in the debugger, because it is in a different 
process.
4) I click on the [senders]  button, to see senders of #logStartupError. 
3 senders appear, but the only possible one is #logStartupDebugAid:.
5) Clock [senders]  there, to find the senders of #logStartupDebugAid:. 
There is only one. See what argument is send. Confirm that 
#logStartupDebugAid: is indeed the method doing this.
6) Notice that #logStartupDebugAid: asks #logStartupDebugAids. See in 
the implementor of #logStartupDebugAids that If there exists a global 
named #LogStartupDebugAids, and it its value is true, this Warning gets 
thrown.
7) Evaluate `Smalltalk logStartupDebugAids`. Answer is true. Do the same 
in the official Cuis image. Answer is false.
8) Look for senders of the global name: #LogStartupDebugAids Find out 
that DrGeoSystem class >> #install does `Smalltalk at: 
#LogStartupDebugAids put: true.`
9) I understand that one solution is not to do that in DrGeoSystem 
class. The other solution is to change #logStartupError: into something 
like #logStartupNotice: that writes to Transcript but doesn't rise an 
exception.

I guess sometimes I assume that everybody will go through similar steps 
when debugging a problem. Obviously that's not true!

Just check the attach. Addi it to the CoreUpdates folder. Be sure that 
[r6.2]-6157-UseOfSizeForCopy-GeraldKlix-2024Feb01-21h27m-KLG.001.cs.st 
is also there, and that your build script installs updates.

Please give back feefback. If this works as intended, I'll push it both 
to 6.2Stable and 6.3Rolling repos.
