Since there is a PointerExplorerWrapper in this trace I believe that a pointer explorer is already open on one of the objects, or that this tool does not exclude itself from its own pointer search...
If the latter is the case, it would be a Heisentool, where the attempt of using it changes that which it is supposed to observe. :-P
It strongly suggests that somewhere in your development time you didn't close a morph correctly.
Try selecting the PluggableSystemWindow (3168378) and inspecting it. Assuming that works, see if 'self delete' in the text view at the bottom of the inspector works. It *should* close the system window and after a garbage collect or two everything ought to be cleaned out.
