I have found that I cannot save any package to any repository (local or
Squeaksource) using Pharo 1.1.1 with the CogVM on 64-bit Ubuntu 10.10. After being prompted to describe the changes to the package and then accepting, the entire image just crashes with the stack dump below. I do have the proper IA32-libs installed (to run 32-bit applications on a 64-bit Linux), and everything else seems to work fine, including loading of Monticello packages.
This code: "UUID new primMakeUUID" can produce the crash. Changing
UUID>>primMakeUUID to use the non-primitive implementation:
UUIDGenerator default generateBytes: self forVersion: 4. stops the crashing.
UUID bug is well known for a long time. It is plaguing us for 2 years i think.
I see, my mistake. I assumed it was new because this is the first time I have ever encountered it on Linux after two years of using Pharo, and there were no recent posts here discussing it (though searching just now, I found a thread concerning Cog and UUID crashes from last October) or related issues in the tracker that I could find. But I feel compelled to stress that the current Pharo 1.1.1 OneClick distribution is shipping with this bug in it, and the previous 1.1 distribution did not. Perhaps this quarrelsome plug-in should be disabled by default, if only on Linux. I would hate for a budding Pharo user to encounter this while going through the exercises in Pharo By Example.
