Yes I got the same last week. I loaded SciSmalltalk and just program one hour and my image went to 1.4 Gb I could not load it.

Dear vm developers,
I’ve encountered multiple times an issue when my images cannot be opened after saving (only on spur). I think that this happens when image is large, and the following script results in a corrupt image almost 100%:
curl get.pharo.org/50+vm http://get.pharo.org/50+vm | bash
./pharo Pharo.image --no-default-preferences eval --save \ "Smalltalk globals at: #ReallyBigArray put: (ByteArray new: 1024*1024*1000). 'Done'"
./pharo Pharo.image printVersion
The last line is there just to make image do something and for me it fails all the times. I hope that this can help to troubleshoot the issue with the vm.
Also here are my system & hardware specs:
System Version: OS X 10.11.3 (15D21) Model Identifier: MacBookPro11,5 Processor Name: Intel Core i7 Processor Speed: 2.8 GHz Total Number of Cores: 4 Memory: 16 GB
Cheers! Uko
