Sometimes while working in Iceberg on 6.1, I see a progress bar(s) like the
following:
<http://forum.world.st/file/t128965/Screenshot_2018-08-24_12.jpeg> 

This seems to usually signal that a crash is not far away. It's doubly
concerning because there is no clear way to stop the troubled process
(interrupts often bring up a debugger on something else) and because, since
one is now unable to save any code, it's unclear how to start over easily in
a new image. In an extreme scenario, I recently panicked during such an
experience and accidentally clicked "Save" instead of "Save As…" resulting
in an image that took hours worth of code (I know maybe not a great
practice) with it to the grave.

Any idea why this happens or what we might be able to do anything about it?

p.s. I was so concerned that I immediately resolved to move to Pharo 7, but
that turned out not to be an option do to the recently reported bug with
extension methods (that don't exactly match the package name)
