<p>Hi Dave,</p>

<p>a naive question: Why isn't SqueakSource running on an automatically updated Trunk image, maybe only pulling updates that were approved by a CI process? Wasn't it worth the effort? :-)</p>

I do not know the answer to your question, but based on my experience<br>
supporting the old squeaksource.com server (which has until recently<br>
been running on an older image and squeaksource code base), I would<br>
not be surprised to find bugs like this related to improper handling<br>
of WideString in squeaksource.<br>
<br>
In earlier years, squeaksource.com was being used heavily by students<br>
for Pharo-based classroom assignments. User names that (quite properly)<br>
used WideString for the user name would cause failures in the squeaksource<br>
application, and I would have to "fix" these problems by converting<br>
the usernames to plausible 8-bit strings in the squeaksource.com image.<br>
These failures happened quite frequently for a number of years after<br>
the Pharo community moved to smalltalkhub.com, because squeaksource.com<br>
was still being used to support classroom projects.<br>
<br>
On source.squeak.org we did not ever have these issues, possibly because<br>
it was running on a newer Squeak image with better support for WideString,<br>
or possibly simply because the active developers on source.squeak.org<br>
have been in the habit of avoiding the use of international character<br>
sets in their commits.<br>
<br>
My guess is that you have uncovered a bug in SqueakSqueak that simply<br>
has not been noticed until now.<br>
