No, I think that those tests should be shipped... And fix the VM to not corrupt the memory. That's only in the case these test are wrote in pure smalltalk. If they use ffi then yeah they should be removed

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.Marcus
