Fix tricky context state bug that can cause crashes in the GC. Contextpart>runUntilErrorOrReturnFrom: may pop the last argument. Hence if a frame is married in this state its spouse context won't have its last argument slot initialized. Â If later the frame is divorced and the arguments are not updated the last argument slot can be left with this uninitialized slot and ... bang. The solution is to update arguments as well as stack contents when divorcing. Â This is good also because it removes the VM's assumption that method arguments are read-only, and that's only enforced by the Smalltalk bytecode compiler, not by the bytecode.
I just wanted to report that my LD_LIBRARY_PATH problems are gone and the VM starts again on 64bit. Also TCP_CORK seems to work.
On my Ubuntu Lucid install the magic statement in the case returns /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc.so.6 So with the addition of /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc*) SVMLLP="/lib/tls/i686/cmov:/usr/lib";; to the script, things seem OK: image booted, it updated, it passed the UUID tests. I'm just running the full suite of tests now. Right, and it didn't crash on playing that beep, which scared the __ out of me. OK, the entire suite ran without crashing, which is great! Thanks, Eliot! I did have 18 failures and 38 errors, but that's the topic of a separate mail. frank
Thanks Philippe
