Ehmm. So you could create *another* Project and save that one? Then it
can't be a general issue with ImageSegment saving. Did you try to do
alt-. while it is running? That will hopefully get a notifier so that
you can get into the debugger and/or send a debug.log.

Also - saving a Project on file should produce (IIRC) a so called
"export" ImageSegment, otherwise it wouldn't be loadable in another
image.

Yeah, it sounds like a Squeak image bug to me. So hopefully you should
be able to interrupt it with alt-.
