Thanks for the suggestions,

Stéphane: yes ordinary exceptions where thrown from a file in

Nicolas: I can now reproduce the problem in a workspace as well

The following code, evaluated from a workspace hangs Pharo (1.3 One-Click):

ZnServer removeFromSystem.
Gofer new
       squeaksource: 'ZincHTTPComponents';
       package: 'Zinc-HTTP';
       load.
(Smalltalk at: #ZnServer) startDefaultOn: 1701.

Apparently, just loading the code using gofer and starting the server is not 
enough to cause problems; there has to be a significant change, hence the 
removeFromSystem, before trouble begins. 

Since the progress bar says 'Initializing..' could there be something wrong 
with ZnServer class>>#initialize ? It looks harmless to me.

Could someone please confirm this crash/hang ?

This reminds me of the other problem that we had with the units tests, where 
the trait compilation tests before a Zn test involving a server caused 
problems. 

I still don't see a relations, but there has to be something very strange going 
on here.

Sven
