It's a bug in GNU Smalltalk, possibly triggered by a bug in your
script (or maybe not). The "Alarm clock" is used to implement the
Delay class.
Can you attach the script or a "strace" of its execution?
Paolo,
Is the Alarm also possibly working as a means to ensuring a
script does not 'run-away' and get stuck?
No, the alarm is just a SIGALRM that is not properly trapped. It should
never happen.
Please include a "strace -e sigaction" or something like that.
Paolo
