look in the archive and on the vm-dev list I think people agree this is a gcc 4.3 issue. On 19-Feb-09, at 4:15 AM, Bruce O'Neel wrote:
Hi,
Is it possible this error?
sqUnixMemory.c:172: uxGrowMemoryBy: Assertion `newDelta >= 0` failed. Aborted
I get this following the procedure below on a Debian Lenny PPC system with Squeak 3.10-4. Gcc is 4.3.2. I do not get this on a Ubuntu hardy ppc system with the same version of squeak. Gcc is slightly older at 4.2.3.
I've worked around this, for the moment, by adding -memory 200m to the squeak command line.
I spent some weekend debugging this, but, I didn't find where the problem it is comes from.
cheers
