Bill, I always tell people (a) finalization will occur later, not when you think it should (b) finalization will occur slower/faster than you think. (c) both (a) & (b) will vary
You're violating (a) There is mention of doing a full GC will force the finalization, but I can't recall if that finalizes (all) objects in old oops space in one pass with squeak. Various Smalltalk flavours and versions do things differently, some at different times & versions perhaps would only finalize one oops per pass (visualage).
