Yes, that code will crash my machine (Ubuntu). I upgraded to the latest Pharo 3.0 and added the newest Athens-Morphic package to get AthensWrapMorph. Of the Athens packages, I have the following versions:<div>Balloon 13</div>
<div>Cairo 51</div><div>CairoPools 9</div><div>Core 51</div><div>Examples 26</div><div>Morphic 25</div><div>PangoCairo 14</div><div>Text 7</div><div>Tutorial 7</div><div><br></div><div>Cheers,</div><div><br></div><div>Jeff</div>
