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.
