Hi All,<div><br></div><div> new VMs at <a href="http://www.mirandabanda.org/files/Cog/VM/VM.r2515/">http://www.mirandabanda.org/files/Cog/VM/VM.r2515/</a>. These fix a code generator bug and as a result produce slightly better code in rare circumstances. Anyway, Hans' case below will no longer crash the VM :) Enjoy.<br>

I managed to crash the (latest) cog VM consistently, producing the attached crash dump (containing two crashes).<br>
Debugging the code carefully I found that somewhere in the process of setting an instance variable of an object at the top of a tree-like structure, by traversing the tree downwards and back (lazy initializing instance variables), a clearly wrong method was executed:<br>
<br>
setCenter: aPoint<br>
<br>
center := center<br>
<br>
<br>
after correcting this the crashes didn't occur anymore.<br>
Not sure how important this is, but surprising it was, though!<br>
