Oh, that's cool. So you have a script that builds an interpreter, and folks (once the bug's fixed) can read it, run it, learn from it, tweak it, etc? <div><br></div><div>I like.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Mar 13, 2013 at 5:24 PM, David T.

</div>Yes of course. I am not trying to fix the script. The script is only of interest<br>
because it seems to have caught a problem associated with recent image changes<br>
within the last few days.<br>
<br>
Of course I should turn it into a unit test.<br>

p.s. The reason that the script is written in this manner (way too long) is<br>
that I wanted it be something that would be readable and executable when<br>
imported into a workspace, but that would also run from start to finish to<br>
build a VM when filed in as a script. There is a similar script for the<br>
interpreter VM, although that one is not triggering the bug at the moment.<br>
