Hi Bill,
I can reproduce this by repeatedly saving without quitting (on windows vista).
I suspect that some face handles are no being closed properly at shutdown.
When a face handle is open, then the FreeType library also has the associated
file open.
But there is a limit to the number of open file handles - see
http://code.google.com/p/pharo/issues/detail?id=1061 for more info on this.
When I have figured out what is going wrong in the shutdown, I'll post a fix.
Is there a bug issue number for this problem? If not, I'll create one.
Cheers,
Andy
