Looks like a bug creating a recursion in #terminate, which spawns more
and more processes.

Hi All,

I've seen this answered in the archive a couple of months back, however the

solution isn't working for me.

I have around 3000 processes that appear to be defunct timers - ie i've

shutdown magma, thrown away the magma directory, started up squeak again,

and... many thousands of magma processes - at one stage around 5000

processes!

(50s) Time to process MaRepositoryConnectionRequest: Process>>terminate

(50s) Time to process MaAbortTransactionRequest: Process>>terminate

(50s) Time to process MaReadRequest: Process>>terminate

(50) Time to process MaRepositoryDisconnectRequest: Delay>>wait

(50) Time to process MaRepositoryDisconnectRequest: Delay>>wait

(50) Time waiting for MaRepositoryDisconnectRequest requests: Delay>>wait

(50) Time waiting for MagmaIdRequest requests: Delay>>wait

(50) Time to process MaReadRequest: Delay>>wait

(50) Time to process MaRepositoryDisconnectRequest: Delay>>wait

(50) Time to process MaRepositoryConnectionRequest: Delay>>wait

(50) Time to process MaAbortTransactionRequest: Delay>>wait

...and so on.

The solution i tried was:

MagmaSession cleanUp

result: 'MagmaSession instances (before->after):  0->0'

still many thousands of processes.

Does anyone know how to clean up the mess?

Thanks in advance,

Phil
