[Help-smalltalk] segfault/abort in CPtr>>#value

[Stephen Compall]

wcstok on ##smalltalk asked about a method on gst latest running on
FreeBSD:

|x y|
    x := CPtrCType elementType: #int.
    y := x new.
    y value
!

whereas replacing the last statement with "Memory intAt: y address"
would operate as expected.

I tried it on Linux nocandy.dyndns.org 2.6.12-12mdk #1 Fri Sep 9
18:15:22 CEST 2005 i686 AMD Athlon(tm) XP 2800+ GNU/Linux (built with
 --enable-jit --enable-gtk=no) with
address@hidden/smalltalk--devo--2.2--patch-166:

st> |x y| x:=CPtrCType elementType: #int. y:=x new. y value!
stdin:1: Aborted
(ip 10)CPtr>>#value

wcstok reported a segfault on line 4437 in prims.def.
