List,
I hope you realize I'm motivated to investigate VM crashes. Esteban reports that the VM is now more stable w.r.t. becomeForward: after I debugged load cases a couple of week ago. But I could do with some help. It really helps to be provided with an image that reproduces the bug in start-up. e.g. evaluating a doit that saves and then invokes crashing code:
Smalltalk saveAs: 'crash'. Gofer it url: 'http://www.squeaksource.com/MetacelloRepository'; package: 'ConfigurationOfFFI'; load. (Smalltalk at: #ConfigurationOfFFI) project stableVersion load.
This saves me a lot of time. I have a day job that does not pay me to investigate Cog crashes. Your help is most appreciated.
Your too. Yes getting reproducible cases is a key aspect. Esteban and Igor spent some days checking for this and other problems (that nicolas experienced on his servers). Stef
