This is a potential source of subtle problems because after loading the segment you end up with duplicated symbols (we run into this with Cmsbox...). The easiest solution is to create a temporary variable and assign "Symbol allSymbols" while creating a segment.
Ok, but that is done at several places in ImageSegement.
I "fixed" this. Actually, I don't fix it, but I put in at least only one place that fix for everybody (I think).
Thanks for the tipo of ReferenceStream>>#readSymbol.��� however...I debug it and have empy symbols...wierd. Now I am very dead, but I hope tomorrow to check it more in depth.
