StandardFileStream size limit?

This still fails three and a half years later with a default Pharo 4 vm and image.
:(

I spent a few hours trying to diagnose why Pharo was telling me that I file I knew existed didn't exist. Very frustrating trying to debug this and then to find it is a vm and not an image issue. I then to search the archives to find this is a known issue for this long and still broken.

The latest linux vm works fine.
http://files.pharo.org/vm/pharo/linux/Pharo-VM-linux-latest.zip

Is there a reason why the "latest" vm isn't the stable vm? Or at least this bugfix applied to the stable vm?

Thanks.

Ok, so the plot thickens:

If I run this in a "oneclick 1.4" I will get a file write error on 2Gb:

| f b |
f := StandardFileStream newFileNamed: 'test'.
b := ByteArray new: 1024*1024*100. "100Mb"
[30 timesRepeat: [f nextPutAll: b]] ensure: [f close] "3Gb"


...but it worked fine using a self built "standard" VM from squeakvm.org
(4.4.7.2357)! Same image btw.

Now, does it work with the bleeding edge Cog? Tried r2556 and nope, same
problem.

So I "guess" it is a Cog thing? I haven't tried building Cog from source.

I'm not sure if the Cog VMs are being compiled with the the LFS option,
although
I expect that if you compile it yourself with the build options that Bert
explains,
then it should start working.

I just committed the necessary changes for my branch.  Will rebuild soon.
  G?ran, if you're in a hurry build your own?  You'd need to be in
http://www.squeakvm.org/svn/squeak/branches/Cog/unixbuild/bld and run ./mvm.

latest vm has issues with OSProcess stdout the last time I checked on Yosemite. I would not call it stable unless we talk only crashes here.

Yes, the latest vm is pretty stable. But I think the problem is, there are to many changes for to many

different projects:

- I added a change to the windows keyevent handling and created a small  regression (can not use ctrl+space anymore)

- changes for OSWindow /SDL

- spur (?) or any other changes from the main squeak vm
- ...

I think we should have create release candidate branch and make sure more people testing that version and all

newer changes go to the master/development branch only.

Ah, I didn't know this was a vm issue. Does this means it is working with the "official" stable vm ?

Can you check if OSProcess is working with the stable vm? This may help to fix this issue.

Thanks
