Have you tried on latest VM ? I remembered fixing a bug on #==<br>
primitive like a month ago. The problem was when performing #==<br>
primitive with the argument being a forwarder to an immediate.<br>

The problem still existed as of Cog #3686 (Juan found the fix<br>
yesterday.) On my system, Cuis last worked perfectly with 3370,<br>

Fortunately I work with Gera Richarte @ Satellogic, and it didn't take long for him to suggest an explanation: Maybe prim 110 is broken in recent Cog VMs, but nobody notices it because the only sender is #== that is already optimized by the jitter, so prim 110 is never really called. And I realized we can test that theory. First, we add this method to Character:<br>
<br>
=== aCharacter<br>
<primitive: 110><br>
self halt<br>
<br>
Then the following snippet (in latest Cuis, #2744):<br>
<br>
0 to: 255 do: [ :i1 | 0 to: 255 do: [ :i2 | i1 = i2 ifFalse: [(Character value: i1) === (Character value: i2) ifTrue: [{i1.i2} print ]]]]<br>
<br>
prints nothing if run with Cog 3370, but prints a lot of pairs in more recent Cog. So I think Gera is right.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
