@Marcus, I was reviewing this issue before I noticed you flipped the
milestone from Pharo 6.0 to Later.
But is it solved already?
In a fresh image 47.7MB in size
I did the following a bunch of times to grow the image file to 400MB
o ifNil: [o := OrderedCollection new].
100 timesRepeat: [ o add: (Array new: 100000) ].
Smalltalk saveSession
then I did this
o := nil.
Smalltalk saveSession.
and the image file returned to 47.7MB.
Version info...
Linux Debian 8 Jessie 32-bit
