And what happened with the vm gzip crash? Still around?

Yep, still crashing the vm. I revisited my MonticelloProjects experiment yesterday, and am still crashing the vm when serializing to a compressed fuel file. I wrote about it at the time, and then gave up as the vm was less stable during that period. To reproduce the crash in a pharo6 image: |project| Gofer it smalltalkhubUser: 'StephanEggermont' project: 'MonticelloProjects'; package: 'MonticelloProjects'; load. project := (Smalltalk at: #MCProject) new location: 'http://smalltalkhub.com/mc/StephanEggermont/Documentation/main'. project read. project saveToFile. That reliably crashes in saveToFile. It seems to be independent of 32/64 bit and mac/linux, as I tried some variations. Crash dumps in a mail to the vm list Stephan
