Maybe nobody cared to rebuild new images with the fix?

Bye Torsten

Its not that "no body cared". Thats a little harsh... since traditionally fixes have to be available before a release is made in order to be included in a published image.

In this case the patches required affect more than one package and MC1.5 does includes a fix for one of the patches below.

In the mean time the requirement has been captured in Sake/Packages whose load action reads as follows:

(Installer mantis) "patch to stop NetNameResolver being broken when FFI is loaded" bug: 6980 fix: 'SystemDictionary-recreateSpecialObjectsArray-M6980.st'. (Installer mantis) "patch to fix loading FFI with MC1.5" bug: 6952 fix: 'ClassBuilder-nameinEnvironmentsubclassOftypeinstanceVariableNamesclassVariableNamespoolDictionariescategoryunsafe.st'. Installer installUrl:'http://map.squeak.org/accountbyid/cf58c358-46ee-465e-b6db-2740e9b32a53/files...'. "preamble/postscript are not run with older versions of MC1.5, so recreateSpecialObjectsArray now" Smalltalk recreateSpecialObjectsArray

So...

If having loaded LPF, you load Packages

Installer install: 'Packages'. Installer sake install: 'FFI'.

all "should" be well.
