Seems to me that it could be worth to have a look at this one.

Good Morning Nicolas,

on Sun, 31 Aug 2008 02:22:23 +0200, you wrote:

While debugging FloatTest>>#testNaNCompare (From http://bugs.squeak.org/view.php?id=6719 FloatNaNCompare-M6719-Test.2.cs),

I had a very strange behavior:
Executing in Debugger:

        theNaN := Float nan.
        anotherNaN := Float infinity - Float infinity.
        comparand := {1. 2.3. Float infinity. 2/3. 1.25s2. 2 raisedTo: 50}.
        comparand := comparand , (comparand collect: [:e | e negated]).
        comparand := comparand , {theNaN. anotherNaN}.

I ended up with a comparand filled with some nils.
The problem vanished when I did recompile.

Unfortunately I saved the image before I had the idea to inspect the Bytecode and then could not reproduce the problem.

I suspect it is related to http://bugs.squeak.org/view.php?id=6720 .
Does anyone experiment this kind of problem?

Yes, sometimes annoying things happen with temp names declared interactively :( for an example, cut all temp names in a source method then ask for pretty print ...

Have you seen Eliot's #parse:class:category:noPattern:context:notifying:ifFail:

- 
http://www.mirandabanda.org/files/Cog/Closures0808/Bootstrap/changesets/PreRecompilationPatches.1.cs

in which, while repeatNeeded, a fresh instance of Encoder is assigned. This is not so in stock .images, but perhaps the cure for sorts of problems experienced with declarations made interactively.

HTH.
