ok I think , and thats an assumption, the new FFI may be to blame here. navigating through all the code to find exactly the low level stuff it leads me to OSEnviroment getEnv: which is what it uses to get the low level stuff enviroment variable data , so far so good
the source is ^self ffiCall: #(#String #getevn #(#(String #string)) module: LibC and once again so far so good, but if I try to right click and choose versions so I see when this method has been modified, it freezes my image every single time. So something really weird goes on with the new FFI , if its the new FFI or not something else.
