<TITLE>RE: VM crash</TITLE>

<BODY>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>David - and anyone else that can help. Things are looking bad now!</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>I can now crash my VM in about 10 seconds, guaranteed. I wonder if you would be good enough to try this on Linux. I moved your class code to another class so I could instance the calling class and then ran this:</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>[1 to: 1000 do: [:a|data1 := app1 test]]fork.</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>[1 to: 1000 do: [:b|data2 := app2 test]]fork.</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>[1 to: 1000 do: [:c|data3 := app3 test]]fork.</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>[1 to: 1000 do: [:d|data4 := app4 test]]fork.</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>[1 to: 1000 do: [:e|data5 := app5 test]]fork.</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>[1 to: 1000 do: [:f|data6 := app6 test]]fork.</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>[1 to: 1000 do: [:g|data7 := app7 test]]fork.</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>[1 to: 1000 do: [:h|data8 := app8 test]]fork.</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>[1 to: 1000 do: [:i|data9 := app9 test]]fork.</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>[1 to: 1000 do: [:j|data10 := app10 test]]fork.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Where app1 to app10 are instances of the calling class. It breaks almost every time (now I have taken out the Transcript writes which were slowing it down). Maybe there are re-entrancy problems somewhere and what I am doing is not valid. The stack trace in the dump I am pretty sure is a consequence of where it was in the block execution and not anything to do with the crash.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Thanks</FONT>
