Hello all,

I was wondering what actually the inspector does in the following case:

When you explore (or inspect) the expression: Class environment
you get all classes in the system dictionary. If you navigate inside a class, 
for example AColorSelectorMorph, you can see all its properties and one of them 
is environment, if you go inside it, you get again all classes in the system 
dictionary. So, you can repeat this infinitely (or until you get run out of 
memory, I guess)

Is it the behavior of a lazy inspector? If true, why I cannot inspect a 
mutually-recursive class definition, like this:

Object subclass: #Foo
        instanceVariableNames: 'bar'
        classVariableNames: ''
        poolDictionaries: ''
        category: ''

Foo>>initialize
        bar:= Bar new

Object subclass: #Bar
        instanceVariableNames: 'foo'
        classVariableNames: ''
        poolDictionaries: ''
        category: ''

Foo>>initialize
        bar:= Foo new

Thanks in advance.

P.S.: How can I stop my execution in the pharo image when it is in a infinite 
loop? I can't remember what the shortcut was.
