Hey guys,

I've managed to produce a VM that shows the bug.

You can download it here:

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1927707/VM%20for%20debugging%20PyPy.rar

It's a VMWare Virtual Machine, and it weighs 2 GB compressed.

Once you fire up the VM, there are short instructions in a text file on the
desktop to making PyPy crash.

Will anyone have time to try that?


Thanks,
Ram.
