[Seaside-dev] VM problem

[Dan Winkler]

My Seaside app has become unresponsive and I see it's because the Squeak VM
is using almost all the CPU time for something.  I reniced the process to 15
just so I could get other things to respond on the same machine but I don't
know what I can do with Squeak itself. It's too busy to listen to the mouse
so I can't bring up a process browser or anything.  What does one do in a
situation like this?  I'm going to have to kill it this time but if you can
give me some advice about what I could do if it happens again maybe we can
track down the problem.
