Hi doru
Can you tell us more? How many threads are running? how many times did you save the image? Pablo is investigating a bug related to the GC that happens when we have many threads and saved the image multiple times. He was on it since a couple of days. Now Pablo is attending Smalltalks and will be on vacation until end of the month. Guille is on father leave and coming back to work one day a week. So we are concerned about this problem but we cannot really allocate people on it before beginning of december.
