RE: all

Hi,

Your problem is very simple.  You are running out of memory, causing it to
crash.  The full GC doesn't run automatically right now (scavenging does,
but not full garbage collection).  You have to invoke full GC specifically
if you want it (VM collectGarbage).

But the bigger problem is that you are running a benchmark that is spending
all of its time in the large integer primitives, not in Smalltalk, so it
won't tell you anything meaningful.  Factorial is just about the worst
benchmark ever written.  It may be cool to show people that don't know
Smalltalk, but it is useless.
