Reproducible crashing the VM with a zipped fuel serialization - Vm-dev

24 Jun 2017


      I revisited my MonticelloProjects experiment yesterday, and am still 
crashing
the vm when serializing to a compressed fuel file. I wrote about it at 
the time,
and then gave up as the vm was less stable during that period.

and it looks like the issue referenced:

To reproduce in a pharo6 image:
|project|
Gofer it
         smalltalkhubUser: 'StephanEggermont' project: 
'MonticelloProjects';
         package: 'MonticelloProjects';
         load.
project := (Smalltalk at: #MCProject) new location:
'http://smalltalkhub.com/mc/StephanEggermont/Documentation/main'.
project read.
project saveToFile.
That reliably crashes in saveToFile.
It seems to be independent of 32/64 bit and mac/linux, as I tried some 
variations.
