Hello, I was looking for VM tests in the Pharo image and I found the class IslandVMTweaksTestCase. The strange thing is its comments : "Test case for some tweaks to the VM that Islands requires. These tests are largely for documentation; with an un-tweaked VM, the tests mostly still succeed, albeit *with possible memory corruption*." Does that really mean if I run those tests it might result into memory corruption ? I don't think it is a good idea to ship Pharo with this memory corruption tests in IslandVMTweaksTestCase. I suggest that if the tests may really corrupt memory we remove them from Pharo, or if they cannot corrupt memory then we fix the memory corruption comment. Regards,
