I am using this Image and VM. To reproduce the issue, load 'ESqueak.release.3' into a scratch remote promises image...then run the code below, in a workspace: get walkback <EXCEPTION>. Now debug the code and walk through it: <RUNS> fine, no exceptions.

ASN1Module initialize.
bytes := #[4 5 3 21 55 43 76].
testObj := #(3 21 55 43 76) asByteArray.
obj := ASN1InputStream decodeBytes: bytes.
self assert: (obj = testObj).
newBytes := ASN1OutputStream encode: obj.
self assert: (bytes = newBytes).
