Ok - I admit I don't know what I am doing but then that's always the best
way to break something. Is Squeak that flaky or am I just being really
unlucky? I have to say I have had more lock-ups in the short time I have
been using Squeak than in any other language system I have used. Quite a few
in Morphic but the last one simply doing this:

 

x := SequenceableCollection new, then try to print x. Lock-up + 100% CPU.
The only response is from the main window, quit without saving then kill
squeak as it's still running.

 

I was simply trying to understand why forceTo: paddingStartWith: didn't work
if the length was more than the original string. What I wanted to do was add
a calculated number of padding '0' characters in front of my string. I was
using a base class method because padded: to: with: also didn't work if to:
was greater than the string length. I must be reading these completely wrong
somehow. Can someone restore my confidence please.

 

Bob
