Hi Eliot,
This is great news. I am totally happy that I can get accurate coverage data again :-)
Unfortunately there is a new problem: The VM sometimes crashes when running the coverage analysis. I am using the same test setup (http://jenkins.lukas-renggli.ch/job/PetitParser/lastSuccessfulBuild/artifact...) that I described in my previous mail. Using the TestRunner about 1 in 5 times running the coverage analysis on AST-Tests-Semantics crashes the VM. Programmatically it also happens, but even less often:
runner := TestRunner new. runner categoryAt: 8 put: true. runner runCoverage
I've also attached the "crash.dmp" the VM generates.
Anyway, cog rocks. Thanks a lot for your continuous efforts on making it the best Smalltalk VM out there.

Fix bugs described in the "[Pharo-project] Troubles with #flushCache and #run:with:in:" thread http://lists.gforge.inria.fr/pipermail/pharo-project/ 2011-July/050858.html. The PIC machinery wrongly treated invoke-as-method sends as MNUs. Closely related, finally fully implement PIC MNU cacheing where, by calling a special abort, a PIC is able to record that a gven selector is an MNU for a particular class. Speeds up a simple MNU benchmark by 33% (with more performance the deeper the receiver's cass hierarchy is). On Mac fix mis-editing of Info.plist to insert revision info so that VM .app once again starts on 10.5.x. -- best, Eliot
