[Pharo-project] Which COG VM?

2012-01-20 Thread Andrew P. Black
The latest COG VM, pointed to from the Pharo-project download page, CogVM-*-13307.zip, seems to be a little unstable. Many students have been reporting that it just hangs while doing nothing more than editing (not saving) text, and I have seen long hangs while doing trivial things — these
