As stated in�http://stackoverflow.com/questions/20621119/how-to-print-an-integer-to-transcript, SmallInteger inherits it's new: message from Behaviour, so if one expects SmaillInteger new: 0 to give you a 0, it really crashes the VM while trying to Inspect the result.Running it with an argument different than 0 (SmallInteger new: 10) raises an error ("SmallInteger cannot have variable sized instances").I think it would be really nice to have it just return the parameter, but that's opinology - you decide how to solve it. The thing I think is not subjective is that the VM crashes - that shouldn't happen.Tested in #30649
