Fiddling around with StarBrowser, I entered this code:

doMorph: aMorph

	| f scaleX scaleY |
	f _ aMorph imageForm.
	aMorph fullReleaseCachedState.
	scaleY _ 14 / f height.  "keep height invariant"
	scaleX _ ((aMorph width * scaleY) <= 14)
		ifTrue:
			[scaleY]  "the usual case; same scale factor, to preserve aspect 
ratio"
		ifFalse:
			[self width / f width].
	^(f magnify: f boundingBox by: (scaleX @ scaleY) smoothing: 0).

When I changed from smoothing: 2 to smoothing: 0 in the last line and 
ran the method, the entire VM crashed without an error trace.
