I think I traced it down to a lowspace problem with mac os... Does the
plugin load
outside Squeaks memory partition ? At least the freeze on my system
is total! Everything locks up. The funny part was that it seemed to
happen 
when I used the new fileSelector.... I have to keep on looking.
When the freeze happens no debug log or anything is given. Makes it really
hard and slow to track down, with alot of system restarts :-(

The file name strings look the same to me, bu maybe I overlooked something. Can you narrow it down to which primitive was last called before the crash?
