Re: [Help-smalltalk] smalltalk-2.1h / browser

[Jan Vrany]

Hi,

I've exactly the same problem. I spent a little time with debugging
and found out the following:

1) described problem deals with process scheduling (if you have
non-preemtive build) and maybe with GTK internals. I did:

gst> [ BLOX.BLOXBrowser.BrowserMain new initialize ] fork!

the launcher appears. The I clicked to close button at
window title (that is managed by window-manager), but
nothing happened. The I typed:

gst> Processor yield!

Voila, Launcher disappears.

2) the second problem is when gst is builded
with --enable-preemption. In such case,
BLOX will never load, gst process will terminate
during BLOX loading after receiving ABORT signal,
as I posted a week ago in "[Help-smalltalk] Bug in GTK?"
I spent a little time reading GST virtual machine sources
- the code for preemptive scheduling looks fine and
there is no code in whole VM that raises ABORT signal
(or I just haven't found it :-). I've absolutely no
idea what's wrong.

I'm using Debian Etch
