Hi Nicolai,

thanks for following up on this.

I am in the process of determining what causes the crash. I fear that to reproduce the problem you will need to have ROS installed, I have not yet been able to reproduce it without ROS running. I do not want to inflict the installation of ROS on you without being 100% sure.

I am using Roassal because this is for Live Robot Programming (http://pleiad.cl/LRP) which uses a dynamic visualization of the running code. To reproduce the bug (until now) I need to develop code in LRP when using ROS, and then it happens randomly. I realize that this is too much to ask for an outsider to reproduce the bug (I did not expect anybody to download and install PhaROS to try to reproduce, thanks for that!!).

Can you inform me how I can get you more useful debug info to you? I will keep trying to find minimal steps to reproduce in the mean time.

Can you provide the image file.
What exactly runs in the image (does it depend on ROS or
does it crash even without it). For what do you
use Roassal in this environment.
Can you reproduce the crash with a clean image (and maybe loading
some package - without all of the ROS-stuff?
(I just followed the installation guide for PhaROS, but I have no idea
how to go from here to do anything to reproduce the crash).

Ben, thanks for replying but since no VM guys are following up on this, apparently, it does not make much sense for me to go this way.

Guys, am I to assume there is not help for me on this topic?

The VM crashes after a random amount of time (< 25 minutes), with no clear sequence of steps on how to reproduce the crash. I am using Pharo 4 (Pharo 40622 as installed by PhaROS) + Roassal which required an install of libcairo2:i386 . VM version details below.
