Interesting..
I thought your image freezing might be related to the VM bug reported here: http://bugs.impara.de/view.php?id=4709. However, some tests I did recently show that the bug does not depend on the VM version but on the Linux kernel version 2.6.
1 - Squeak 3.9-9 VM, Linux 2.6 BUG 2 - Squeak 3.6-3 VM, Linux 2.6 BUG 3 - Squeak 3.7b-5 VM, Linux 2.4 OK 4 - Squeak 3.9-9 VM, Linux 2.4 OK
I updated the Mantis report with more details.
John, I tried what you suggest in this mail http:// lists.squeakfoundation.org/pipermail/seaside/2006-September/ 008981.html. I attached the gc stats files to the Mantis report.
Keith, could you provide a gdb backtrace of a frozen image? Do you also see the problem when running with -mmap?
Cheers, Adrian
