Thanks Bert, that's a very useful reference. I've followed the advice
there, and when I get to bringing up the Pointer Finder it says:

#ProtoObject -> ProtoObject class
subclasses: Array
9: AnObsoleteC3 class

So it looks to me as though ProtoObject is the only thing holding a
reference to this obsolete class. I inspected it and the subclasses
array has 105 members, many of them repeated Obsolete classes:

{Object . ObjectOut . ImageSegmentRootStub . MessageCatcher .
DynamicBindingsInfo . MaMinimalObject . MAConditionBuilder .
MAProxyObject . AnObsoleteC3 . AnObsoleteC4 . AnObsoleteC6 .
AnObsoleteC3 . AnObsoleteC4 . AnObsoleteC6 . AnObsoleteC3 .
AnObsoleteC4 . AnObsoleteC6 . AnObsoleteC3 . AnObsoleteC4 .
AnObsoleteC6 . AnObsoleteC3 . AnObsoleteC4 . AnObsoleteC6 .
...etc... }

I'm not sure that this is the way things should be!

Any pointers for next steps?
