Project:      GNU Smalltalk

I have seen this issue on a 2.6.29 and a 2.6.30 kernel:

test $ gst -v
GNU Smalltalk version 3.1-27b1aa3
...
test $ gst-load -ivI test.im Iliad
...
test $ gst-remote -I test.im --server &
[1] 27607

test $ gst-remote server started.

test $ gst-remote --eval="Iliad.SwazooIliad startOn: 4080"

test $ netstat -lpn | grep 4080
(Not all processes could be identified, non-owned process info
will not be shown, you would have to be root to see it all.)
tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:4080            0.0.0.0:*              
LISTEN     27607/gst-remote    

So with 27b1aa3 "everything works". Now let's do the update:

test $ cd /home/stefan/git/smalltalk/

smalltalk $ git pull
Updating 27b1aa3..482e75a
...

smalltalk $ make ; sudo make install
...

smalltalk $ cd ~/test

test $ pkill gst-remote

test $ gst -v
GNU Smalltalk version 3.1-482e75a

test $ gst-remote --daemon
