New vms that read cog images - as in cog is no longer a one-way street? That would make it safer/easier to test.

Thanks, StackToRegisterMappingCogit is really impressive. IIRC for the 4.1.1 VM Andreas fixed something about ImageSegment loading which is missing from the CogVMs. It would be good to have that fix, because now arrayOfRoots is nil when I'm trying to load an ImageSegment. It's not urgent at all, because I could work the problem around using the new SqueakVMs which can read Cog images and have the fix. Levente > > > Eliot >
