Pharo/Squeak versions (using CogVM?) fail immediately when executed on AMD Athlon XP

 
This confirms what was already reported at:

http://forum.world.st/Why-won-t-my-Pharo-download-run-td4719810.html

Apparently, the problem would be just dependent on the underlying
hardware and not the operating system and, as suggested there, could
be related to unsupported CPU instructions.

This has been more recently suggested here too:

I am trying to learn Smalltalk and the book "Deep into Pharo"
apparently requires a minimum Pharo version of at least 2.0.

Could someone provide a binary download of the current version of
Pharo VM for Windows without SSE2 support?

If that's not possible, what would be the simplest way to build the VM
in Windows without SSE2 support?


Operating systems tested on the problematic machine:

Windows XP Home Edition Service Pack 3

Knoppix 7.0 Linux Kernel 3.4.9 (LiveCD)


Last versions that worked:

Pharo-1.2.1-OneClick.zip
Squeak-4.4-All-in-One.zip


Next versions no longer work:

Pharo-1.3-OneClick.zip
Squeak-4.5-All-in-One.zip



Result in Windows XP:

Brings up the Error Report dialog box (with the 'Send Error Report' button)
I have attached a Dr. Watson report of the error both for Pharo and Squeak.


Result in Knoppix:

Running script 'Pharo.sh' or 'Squeak.sh' from a terminal just returns
'Illegal Instruction'
