(what's described below occurs on a Debian GNU/Linux amd64 box)


attaching gdb on it seems to show it loops allocating memory. If I
Ctrl-C, it stops.


But then trying to launch it again fails with:



gst: Aborted
(ip 4)[] in ProcessorScheduler>>#initialize
(ip 22)Array(SequenceableCollection)>>#do:
(ip 6)[] in ProcessorScheduler>>#initialize
(ip 4)[] in BlockClosure>>#newProcessWith:
(ip 28)[] in Process>>#onBlock:at:suspend:

(ip 2) BlockClosure>>#ensure:
(ip 10)[] in Process>>#onBlock:at:suspend:
(ip 14)BlockContext class>>#fromClosure:parent:
Abandon

Strangely, this does *not* occur if I launch gst then at the prompt
invoke blox:



st> PackageLoader fileInPackage: 'BloxTK'!
st> PackageLoader fileInPackage: 'Browser'!
st> BLOX.BLOXBrowser.BrowserMain new initialize!
