VM crash upgrading via trunk from 5.1-17325 (420->421)

Updates being applied at time of crash:

update-mt.421.mcm
System-mt.963

(I was also unable to update a 5.1 image via trunk past some point on OS X without a crash.  It might have been this update there too, but I don't have the details to confirm for now.)

Yes.  Crash duplicated in the following configuration:

* OS X 10.12.6
* fresh 5.1 64-bit image
* Cog Spur VM 64-bit 2018-03-08-0952

Again, while trying to apply update #421 after applying all updates up to and including #420.

THanks,

I cannot reproduce this on 10.10.5 using a VM built from the latest sources.  We don't have all builds succeeding right now and so don't have a new release on binary but are working to resolve this asap.

Hi,

A full dump of SqueakDebug.log follows.  This is from trying to update from #421 to #422, and the lockup occurs at update-nice.422.mcm, "Installing Kernel-nice.1127".  It seems the lock up was indeed the result of a "system error.   VM: Squeak 5.0, Cog Spur VM 5.0-201803080952

Note that the debug log below states my image is "Squeak6.0alpha" but that is because the image is renamed as such by one of the trunk updates.   The original image was in fact originally "Squeak5.1-16549-64bit" as downloaded from squeak.org.

I would guess that if the current target is actually Squeak5.2 then there is cause to revisit whichever update renames the image.  :)

Hi Marcel,

Thanks! That helped.  I was able to update to #421 after running this. Should this message be sent as a postamble script or preload script or somesuch?

Now unfortunately the (64-bit image on OS X) locks up (no crash) at update-nice.422.mcm, "Installing Kernel-nice.1127".  :)  In SqueakDebug.log, there is the following:

MessageNotUnderstood: TextMorph>>currentHand

For the record: it has been very useful to upgrade the MonticelloConfigurations package to the latest version, so I have the ability to send e.g.

MCMcmUpdater default doUpdateUpTo: 421

Thanks again,
Tim

Hi Tim,

try "Smalltalk cleanUp: true" before applying update #421.

Hi all,

I was able to upgrade a 5.1 image all the way to update #420 (17325), thanks to the helpful new-ish methods in MCMcmUpdater.  Should I be able to upgrade beyond that?

When I try to apply #421, I get a friendly offer to drop into an emergency evaluator.  One time a dialog box appeared, informing me that the VM has crashed.  I thought I grabbed a screenshot of the VM crash dialog, but I guess I didn't.  I do have a crash.dmp file.

System details:

32-bit Windows 7
32-bit image, starting with 5.1 and upgraded via trunk through update-420

VMs tried: squeakcog.spur_win32x86_201803080952 and cog_win32x86_squeak.cog.spur_201608171728

Updates being applied at time of crash:

update-mt.421.mcm
System-mt.963

(I was also unable to update a 5.1 image via trunk past some point on OS X without a crash.  It might have been this update there too, but I don't have the details to confirm for now.)

Thanks,
Tim
