[Vm-dev] CogVM crash when printing related to #cannotInterpret:

[Mariano Martinez Peck]

Hi Eliot. I am testing your very last VM r2496, CogMT in Mac OS 10.6.8. I am
using the trick of #cannotInterpret: and I discover a problem with it.
Basically, it is when doing something like this:

MyProxy >> cannotInterpret: aMessage

Error signal: 'ups...'.

In this case, the debugger comes in but after one or 2 times I press in the
debugger line of #cannotInterpret: (to debug it), it crashes. As far as I
could see with gdb, the problem is in MethodContext >> #printDetails:
If I comment the contents of such method, I have no crash at all. I think
that in this scenario where I throw an arror inside #cannotInterpret can
reach a situation where you don't have temps or values or receiver or
something and that's why it crash.
Furthermore, previous VM version, do NOT have this problem.

I will try to dig a little more, but if you give me a hint, I appreciate it.


Here is the bt and the stack:
