<div dir="ltr">Hi guys,<div><br></div><div>I am debugging a Pharo VM crash I am having and I cannot figure out what it is exactly. I suspect it might be related to block closures compilation but I am not sure. I have a reproducible crash test under Pharo 4.0 and OSX. </div><div><br></div><div>I built a VM in debug mode and I run it via gdb.
