Hello,

I was looking for VM tests in the Pharo image and I found the
class IslandVMTweaksTestCase. The strange thing is its comments :
"Test case for some tweaks to the VM that Islands requires. These tests are
largely for documentation; with an un-tweaked VM, the tests mostly still
succeed, albeit *with possible memory corruption*."

Does that really mean if I run those tests it might result into memory
corruption ?

I don't think it is a good idea to ship Pharo with this memory corruption
tests in IslandVMTweaksTestCase. I suggest that if the tests may really
corrupt memory we remove them from Pharo, or if they cannot corrupt memory
then we fix the memory corruption comment.

Regards,
