I do expect that #ensure: blocks are evaluated, but ...

There are many more gotchas in Process>>#terminate. In fact this is
one of the darkest places of Squeak, in my opinion.

- #ensure: blocks are evaluated in the wrong process, that is the
process that calls #terminate not the one that runs the process. This
can have very strange effects, if your code depends on the current
process.

- #terminate can badly harm system if two processes concurrently try
to terminate a third process.

More?
