David,
The code runs to completion in six minutes in this case, but when I put it in a MessageTally it hangs the VM after a while. Doesn't appear to be a simple case of not enough memory, although, from the Activity Monitor samples, it does appear to be concerned with memory in some fashion. I'm working on pruning down a snippet.
Cheers, Bob

Bob,
Are you saying that your code runs fine for six or more minutes, or are you saying that it runs fine for 6 minutes and then hangs? In other words, does it happen only when you wrap your code in MessageTally, or does MessageTally just seem to make it happen sooner?
I don't know the Mac environment, but on the face of it this sounds like a system that is trying to grow object memory beyond available memory and just getting bogged down and unresponsive. Is there a code snippet you can share to reproduce?

Hi,
I've been using the all-in-one 4.2 Squeak and can't figure out why the VM is hanging. I have some code that runs fine for about six minutes, but if I wrap it in a MessageTally spyOn: [], then the VM will hang after a while (typically 30 to 90 seconds). CMD-period does not wake it up. According to the activity monitor, cpu remains right around 100% and real memory at around 180 meg. Activity Monitor sampling output attached below. Any suggestions?
