Hi Tim. Sorry you crashed your image. I owe you an apology, because when I
looked at the code for LinkedList, I thought there was something odd, but I
dismissed it thinking ' they must have thought of that!' I think the problem
is that LinkedList inherits #after: from SequenceableCollection, meaning it
uses #atIndex: rather than following the links. Even so I don't see why it
loops; surely going outside the range of the index should be a known error
condition. Anyway, between us we may have discovered a bug in LinkedList. Do
you feel stirred up enough to raise it as an issue?

Peter
