I vote for inling for now... this fixes the problem.
allInstances
"Answer a collection of all current instances of the receiver."
| all inst next |
all := OrderedCollection new.
inst := self someInstance.
[inst == nil]
whileFalse: [
next := inst nextInstance.
inst == all ifFalse: [all add: inst].
inst := next].
^ all asArray
