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.
