Hello all,
I'm getting Ubuntu configured on my new $400 laptop, and just noticed that I can load one Pharo image at least twice w/o any error messages. Is that good or bad? I'm inclined to say it is bad, with caveats below.
It's because unix allows you to open a file for write multiple times. This also applies to in-image code which can make for interesting platform dependant bugs when running on platforms that don't allow this, like windows.
