<pre wrap="">Hello,
Not sure whether this is right place for a such a question.
How could this be sometimes PointerFinder is helpful. After loading
and using parts of Moose (<a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="http://www.moosetechnology.org">www.moosetechnology.org</a>) in Squeak, I wanted
to do some housekeeping and try understanding why some objects are not
garbage collected.
(FAMIXClass allSubInstances first: 20) do: [:e | PointerFinder on: e]
yields nothing:

I run Squeak4.4 update 12327 Cog VM 4.0.0 (release) Apr 4, 2013 on Windows 7.
Thank you in advance,
