Ok, here you go: Change Set with a fix or at least a workaround for the
described freeze.
from preamble:
"Change Set: DelayStartTimerInterruptWatcher-bp
Date: 13 November 2004
Author: Bernhard Pieber
This is just an empty Change Set with only a Postscript
which prevents Squeak from freezing. Probably it is
only a workaround for a deeper problem. Thanks to
Stéphane Rollandin for providing this workaround!!"!
I would feel much better, though, if some expert could look at the heart
of the problem to see if this is really a fix or just a workaround. It
would also be interesting if anyone can reproduce the problem and if it
happens on Mac and Linux as well.
