Running under interpreter VM, do this:
toolbar Help -> Help Browser
expand Squeak --> The Project (get a DNU)
click Debug to open a debugger
highlight SqueakProjectHelp class>>releaseNotes in the top pane of the debugger
right click, and select Versions to open a versions browser on the selected methode
==> VM crash with "sweep failed to find exact end of memory"
This suggests corruption of the object memory image. It is hard to say what
might be the cause, but it would be a good safety measure to save the release
image once from an interpreter VM prior to final release.
In past releases we have done this anyway as part of the release process in
order to ensure that people with old VMs (on Mac) can still run the image.
