Hi vm-dev,

Continuing my thread from squeak-dev.

I could never repeat the pop-up of that dialog window, though.  Thanks...  I will be more careful about my terminology.


Attached is a crash.dmp file.  This crash happened on the Win32 VM, squeak.cog.spur_win32x86_201803080952.  IIRC, I was trying to upgrade from #420 to #421.  The VM popped up a dialog box indicating some VM statistics and last opcode executed.  I failed to capture a screenshot.  I was never able to make the same situation crash the VM again after maybe 5 attempts — it only brought me an offer to enter the emergency evaluator.

Thanks,
Tim
