On mac it doesn't work. You need to change the setting in the plist file as described here: http://forum.world.st/running-out-of-memory-while-processing-a-220MB-csv-fil... Mariano Martinez Peck wrote

Hi guys,

I have a large image, and I found out that i could not start it anymore with `pharo-ui`. The error is:

❯ ./pharo-ui --memory 1500 PharoMyApp.image [15:12:33] Pharo(9030,0xa35bf000) malloc: *** error for object 0x180b604: incorrect checksum for freed object - object was probably modified after being freed. *** set a breakpoint in malloc_error_break to debug

However... if I modify the key SqueakMaxHeapSize to 1572864000 (1500MB) into the Info.plist of the Pharo VM, it DOES work and I can open the image.

The image size is about 544MB.

VM Version is:

And this was on OSX 10.11.3 .

So it seems to me that --memory is not working. Anyone else seeing the same?

Thanks in advance,
