Is there a problem (still) with the Windows version of the Squeak 2.4 VM? I'm unable to shrink the 2.4b image when I run it in the 2.4 VM, but I can do so when running that same image under the 2.3 VM. Specifically,
1. Open the 2.4b image in the 2.4 VM; on a Workspace, execute (for example)
Smalltalk discardVMConstruction. Smalltalk discardSoundSynthesis. Smalltalk discardOddsAndEnds. Smalltalk discardNetworking. Symbol rehash.
Then save and quit; the Windows Explorer shows that the image file is the same size as before.
2. Now open a fresh copy of the 2.4b image in the 2.3 VM, execute the same code as before, save and quit -- lo and behold, the image file DID shrink. In fact, if you open the SAME image (instead of a fresh copy) in the 2.3 VM, you need only execute
Symbol rehash.
i.e. the discards seem to have worked; it was only the rehash that failed.
What's going on here?
