I haven't applied you patch yet, as I want to understand how it would  
be without the patch,
( I'm the curious sort like that... ) and I didn't get what I would  
except from your example:

st> ( File name: '/Users/Spooneybarger' ) all directories do: [ :each  
| each printNl ]
"Global garbage collection... done"
"Global garbage collection... done, heap grown"
"Global garbage collection... done, heap grown"
"Global garbage collection... done, heap grown"
"Global garbage collection... done, heap grown"
...snip...

What am I doing wrong?
