Hi.

Squeak freezes on me. I'm using:

mikevdg at Nebuchadnezzar:~$ squeak -version
3.6-3 #1 Sat Oct  9 16:10:17 NZDT 2004 gcc 2.95.4
Squeak3.6 of '6 October 2003' [latest update: #5429]
Linux Nebuchadnezzar 2.4.22-x1 #1 SMP Wed Nov 19 21:35:11 EST 2003 i686 
GNU/Linux
default plugin location: /usr/local/lib/squeak/3.6-3/*.so

and I do:

'From Squeak3.7 of ''4 September 2004'' [latest update: #5989] on 13 
October 2004 at 5:59:02 pm'!
Object subclass: #FreezeUp
	instanceVariableNames: ''
	classVariableNames: ''
	poolDictionaries: ''
	category: 'Mikevdg'!

!FreezeUp methodsFor: 'as yet unclassified' stamp: 'mvdg 10/13/2004 17:58'!
freezeUp
	^ self freezeUp.! !

And then:
FreezeUp new freezeUp.

What I'd expect (and want...) is a stack overflow exception or error of 
some sort. Instead, everything locks up and even alt-. does little.

I've tried rolling my own VM (and thus finding and fixing this) but it 
won't compile - "fptr" isn't defined (a function pointer?).

Is there a way to limit the stack size for a Squeak thread?

Michael.
