Hi Eliot,

I already found it.  It is this method, when the result of the dictionary lookup is nil for 'en', and it recursively calls localeID: with 'en'.

LanguageEnvironment class>>#localeID: localeID
^self knownEnvironments at: localeID ifAbsent: [self localeID: (LocaleID
isoLanguage: 'en')]


I start the image with an intact KnownEnvironments.   Something somehow nils out the entries after I have run for awhile.   ??????

Thanks,
Rob

Rob,

   put a breakpoint in the code that grows the heap (uxGrowMemoryBy?), let the heap grow to, say, 250Mb and then do 
(gdb) call printCallStack()
to find out what's causing the growth.  Chances are you'll find your infinite recursion.

This includes all Environments except for 'el' -> GreekEnvironment, 'ja-etoys' -> JapaneseEnvironment, 'ca' -> Latin1Environment and 'sq' -> Latin1Environment.

I set 'self halt' in the absent block of #localeID: and in #resetKnownEnvironments in all images.   I run the server and the 2 clients, connect the clients to the server and each other and then sit there.   #KnownEnvironments have the correct environments.  At some later time I try to copy text and #localID: self halt in the absent block gets called.  #KnownEnvironments in that image now have nils. #resetKnownEnvironments never gets called.
