Hi Folks,
I have had some time recently and decided to get back into Squeak. I grabbed Eliot's latest cog vm for windows and went to update my 4.5 image from the trunk. I hit a VM crash after a minute or two of processing updates. Trying several other vintages of Eliot's vm did not help, and I also went to the Squeak ftp site and grabbed the image in the 4.6 folder and attempted to update that and ran into the same problem. I am pretty sure this crash is the crash that was discussed on the list a while ago with a corrupted mcm/mcz file. I thought that it had been resolved, but maybe I misunderstood, or maybe I am missing a step here.
Anyway, the TL;DR of this mail is: How do I avoid crashing the vm when updating from the trunk on windows, or is there a place to grab a more recent vm that can be updated safely. Figuring out either of these will work for me. I am happy to post the crash dump if that will help.
Thanks for any and all help! Jeff
