Hi Doru,

Hi,

If I execute the following code in the latest Pharo image:

Object subclass: #A
        instanceVariableNames: ''
        classVariableNames: ''
        package: 'AA'.
Object subclass: #B
        instanceVariableNames: ''
        classVariableNames: ''
        package: 'AA'.
a := A new.
b := B new.
a become: b.
a class

==> ���A".

In a pre-Spur image, I used to get ���B���. Is this a bug, or is there a change I am not aware of?

Cheers,
Doru

Looks like a bug to me.  I'll fix it asap.

There is another bug report at 
http://bugs.squeak.org/view.php?id=7845

| obj1 obj2 |
obj1 := 'string'.
obj2 := 1.234.
obj1 become: obj2.
{obj1. obj2} "=> #('X9 L��v��' 'string'). it should be #(1.234 'string') "

Squeak Cog Supr Virtual Machine 4.0.3427.0 

Is it related?

Thank you, certainly looks like it.

The good news is that these are not bugs in the simulator.  So I need to generate new sources and working VMs (and Esteban will need to rebuild the Pharo 5 VM) and then the bugs should be fixed.  There's a slim possibility that this could be due to a Slang bug but I doubt it.
