Ok, I've added issue 11639 for the backport. I'll make a try tonight.

So far, we think that is all the problem. You need two steps (the 3rd was because I forgot to commit something :p) because after changing somethign in the finalization process, you then need to restart it to be able to remove old/not used methods. cheers, Esteban On Sep 19, 2013, at 5:30 PM, Goubier Thierry <[email protected]> wrote: > > > Le 19/09/2013 17:20, Esteban Lorenzano a écrit : >> Hi, >> >> I just submitted and integrated a fix for the leak problem. >> That should fix the problem we are having in Pharo3... now we need to work >> on a backport for Pharo2... any takers? :) > > I need some explanations :) > > Thierry > >> Esteban >> >> > > -- > Thierry Goubier > CEA list > Laboratoire des Fondations des Systèmes Temps Réel Embarqués > 91191 Gif sur Yvette Cedex > France > Phone/Fax: +33 (0) 1 69 08 32 92 / 83 95 >
