[squeak-dev] Files | #startUp and #shutDown in FileDirectory

Hi, there. :-)

Why do we reset file-related stuff (e.g. source file handles, default directory class)  on every snapshot? Shouldn't there be a check for "resuming" (or "quitting") in FileDirectory class >> #startUp(:) (and #shutDown(:))?

...or am I missing something? Tim (tpr)! You started it in 2003. Please, explain. :-D

Maybe ... we don't ever want to store dangling source-file handles in the image?

Best,
Marcel
