Black has enough room left for Tom's move, so g4 would have connected to the 1-edge even without threats from B7.]

C[Peter\: According to Mohex, b4 wins for Black.

Is Black connected to the other edge?

Eric\:

I'm not sure Black is connected to the 11-edge, but this would certainly at least be very good for Black, since B9+C9 escapes height-4 ladders.]
