[Seaside] VM freezes; how to find the cause?

[Chris]

#initalizeMenuComponent and #initializeListComponent are not returning 
anything (and will therefore return self, the StRootComponent) This 
means you will have an infinite loop as StRootComponent contains itself

One way to fix it would be to change your initialize method as follows 
as you are already setting the menuComponent and listComponent variables 
in their own initialize methods:

StRootComponent >>#initialize
     super initialize.
     self
	initializeMenuComponent;
     	initializeListComponent.
