1) If you mean, "hangs", this is fixed by the RecursionLock changes.
Note you can plug them in an existing image with
Transcript instVarAt: 1 put: RecursionLock new
2) If you mean, "errors out", that's because Transcript show: only
accepts strings right now. It is a synonym for "nextPutAll:".
Re my comment about 'Transcript show: myVar class' giving an error. I
had thought there was still a problem, however, I see the output of the
class selector is a class and not a string. Just one of things on an
unfamiliar system, where a system error plus a user error can have one
thinking there is still a system error.
Re my 2c on making 'show:' a synonym for 'display:'. Yes, this is simpler ..
Transcript display: 23.
But if I'm using Transcript, then I'm usually printing text as well, and so
Transcript display: 'MyInt is: ',myInt. "->error"
and one still has to do the conversion anway, i.e.
Transcript display: 'MyInt is: ',myint displayString.
is the same as
Transcript show: 'MyInt is: ',myint displayString.
Also confirming I added the line you provided,
'Transcript instVarAt: 1 put: RecursionLock new'
into the start of the script with class output and it stopped the hang.
Thanks
Stephen
