No. I'm using 2.6, with no updates, on both a Mac and SGI (IRIX 6.3), and everything works fine.

Has anyone else had difficulty debugging in 2.6? I used to insert a "self halt" at the point I wanted to drop into a debugger, but that doesn't seem to work quite right, anymore (has to do with the new Exception Handling package?) I tried "Halt signal", and that seems to stop at the right point, but the keys for step (t) and send (e) don't work, and sometimes stepping winds up far down the context stack from where I was.

Folks -

I have encountered the same problem and I think it is important to fix this in 2.7. Unfortunately I'm pretty much out of commission for the rest of the week. It's a project that "A few good Squeakers" could surely solve. If you're in the mood to participate, here's what we need:

1. One or two specific examples of failure that can easily be duplicated in any 2.6 image (I'm assuming the probs are same in 2.6 and 2.7alpha -- if not, that is a clue). [Tim: if you have such, please post it].

2. Someone to track it down and fix it (duh).

I will at least be following mail, and if I see this come through, I'll turn it around as an update asap.

Gentlemen, start your engines...
