Good to know I'm not the only one who found it strange :)

BTW, I thought the default for Collections was to do a shallowCopy  
with a copy operation?

ll := LinkedList new.
ll add: Link new.
ll2 := ll copy.
ll add: Link new.

inspecting ll2, it's firstLink does not have a nextLink, which implies  
to me a deepCopy has occured.

Of course, it's arguable that that's better behaviour for LinkedLists,  
seeing as otherwise ll2's lastLink would be invalid when you added to  
ll.
At a glance, SparseLargeTable, Stack (Through LinkedList  
implementation) and WideCharacterSet in your changeset all seem to do  
a deep copy.

Also, how does part in SharedQueue2
monitor critical: [
monitor := Monitor new.
items := items copy
]  work? Seems a bit fishy to me to have a critical section on a  
monitor, then replacing it as part of it...

Cheers,
Henry
