[Pharo-project] [Seaside] Komanche ?

[John M McIntosh]

Ok.
(a) the first problem is how the 2nd VM is launched. We actually use  
Apple Script to re-launch the binary with the supplied image when
we receive the open document apple event.  The behavior of this is  
different between 10.3, 10.4, 10.5 and I assume the 10.6 is the same
as 10.5 because we had reported an issue with the 10.4 behavior they  
fixed in 10.5

Indications are is that the apple script code executes a execv (but we  
are not sure)
this then retains the open file descriptors so it retains the  
knowledge about open sockets.


(b) I'm not sure what the behavor would be if you launch VM "A" then  
listen on socket 8080.  Then launch VM "B" then again listen on socket  
8080
will both virtual machines "A" and "B" attempt to service socket 8080,  
or will VM "B" get told it cannot listen on 8080 because it does not  
own it?


Pending is work on a pure objective-c based squeak VM based on the the  
iPhone work, which would alter the behaviour.
But if someone can answer (b) then maybe we can see about an interim  
fix to deal with (a)
