Hi Bert,<div><br></div><div> (when you're back from Scotland, birthplace of my grandmother)</div><div><br></div><div>I've been looking at the failing ImageSegmentTest (actually vm-crashing ImageSegmentTest) and I've made it work in the simulator. I now want to check whether the reading or the writing is at fault. If in the real VM I can load the segment written by the simulator I'll know its VM writing that's at fault. But I can't see how to crate an image segment to load a specific image segment file. Do you have a snippet handy?<br>

<div>and this is failing. The version info in the segment is 6502, which is pre-Cog, BlockContext. Cog expects either 6504 (closures, but big-endian order floats) or 6505 (closures, platform-order floats).

That's primitive 99. With an updated Squeak trunk image I can load this project fine in the interpreter:<br>

On Cog the primitive fails. Any idea what might be wrong?<br>
