Hello,

There is a bug in the 3.6 gamma image when you try to redefine an existing class by setting its superclass to String.
For example you create a new class which subclass Object :
Object subclass: #MyClass
	instanceVariableNames: ''
	classVariableNames: ''
	poolDictionaries: ''
	category: 'MyStuff'
Then if you try to change Object with String you get an error message : "Error : MyClass cannot be recompiled".
I don't know if this happens with another classes than String, but there is no error in a 3.4 image.
