Hi!
Unless someone sees a problem right away I’d try the latest trunk image (http://files.squeak.org/trunk/) to compare the behavior… I’m not an expert though. My PC is too slow so I tried 1 mil repetitions only and nothing funny happened… (both 5.3. and latest trunk)
So I’m curious too ;)

Subject: [squeak-dev] Squeak VM crashes

Hello,

After a long time of research I have found now a simple workspace that reproduces the crash I seen in my application. Here is it:

| rows index |
rows := OrderedCollection new.
4000000 timesRepeat: [
        index := (rows size - 100) max: 0.
        rows add: #x afterIndex: index].
rows

It seems to be that it happens easier when the #afterIndex: is more at the end of collection. In my first try I used a random „index“, but the crash happened then only very sporadically. It has something to do with the #add:afterIndex: call, because a simple #add: is working for me. The result for me is that my complete image is shutdown.

Here is the info from the About menu:
