It is definitely Pharo-related, but I can't quite spot the source of the
problem.
In a Pharo image:
ObjectMemory baseHeaderSize ==> nil
ObjectMemory bytesPerWord ==> nil
That is the reason for the incorrect code generation.
If you evaluate this, the object memory constants will be set up properly:
ObjectMemory initializeWithBytesToWord: Smalltalk wordSize
At that point, I expect that the code generation problem will be probably
be fixed.
What I can't figure out is why this is not being initialized properly
in a Pharo image. I'm fumbling my way through this with a borrowed
computer (out of town this weekend, forgot to bring my laptop) and
limited expertise with Pharo, so maybe someone can figure it out from
the above clues.
HTH,
