Hi,

I reported a new issue to mantis, that i consider to be quite
critical. Unfortunately I don't have a fix, but a test-case and a
screen-shot.

    http://bugs.impara.de/view.php?id=2149

Description: If two processes concurrently access the source code of a
method they might get an invalid string that cannot be compiled. This
leads to a wide range of different bugs, the one most often visible is
a syntax that pops up within the image (see attached screen-shot).
This is especially annoying if Squeak is used within a server
environment.
