Making a good, short example that others can run will help you and others. You have to make at least the isolation effort first. Even better, you should look as deep into it as you can.

Re: [Pharo-project] Issue 3264 in pharo: Locale>>#primTimezone fails on Squeak 5

by pharo＠googlecode.com

Comment #2 on issue 3264 by john...(a)smalltalkconsulting.com: Locale>>#primTimezone fails on Squeak 5 http://code.google.com/p/pharo/issues/detail?id=3264 Perhaps primTimezone should fail the method when it does not find the locale primitive. The 5.8b12 beta test VM did not ship with the new Locale plugin. Or any plugins..
