If you post this as a issue on github, I'll see if we can fix it.
I've opened the issue: https://github.com/IoLanguage/io/issues/460
My very uninformed feeling is it might have to do with some C "trickery" too advanced for GraalVM.
Thank you for your work and time.
Io is a beautiful language that I got interested in about the time I was learning Ruby (2004 perhaps).
Also, for a few years, your pages were the top sources of information on Objective C!
Thanks for all the work!
