Squeak low on space...

Hi!

During my experimentations with Player/Stage under Squeak, I came upon a 
strange "behavior". Squeak randomly crashes, and I don't know why. 
Probably it's due to a memory leak or something, because I can see a 
very quick memory consumptions jump in top. Basically Squeak runs for a 
time completely normally, consuming like 3.8 MB of memory. Then it just 
jumps to 16 MB and Squeak crashes. Sometimes I get a warning, that 
Squeak is low on space/memory. I'm attaching the log generated. I'm 
heavily spawning processes and using socket communication, so I guess 
the problem will be in process handling somewhere or in socket usage. 
Can you figure out something from the log? Here is what I get for squeak 
-version:

3.9-8 #5 Tue Oct 10 11:56:09 PDT 2006 gcc 4.0.3
Squeak3.9alpha of 4 July 2005 [latest update: #7021]

default plugin location: /usr/local/lib/squeak/3.9-8/*.so

uname -a returns:

I'm using GNOME in Fedora Core 6.

Cheers,
