mmmmmm so you are using a stream to serialize and such stream is also being refenced from the object to serialize?
Yes, that's it - except that the stream is an FSWriteStream on a FSMemoryStore "file", which I think is an issue here. The PRKernel is holding an instance of PRFuelPersistency, which holds an FSReference. That FSReference happens to refer to a memory-based "file".
The code is at http://ss3.gemstone.com/ss/pierfuel.html You'll first need a Pier image, with the following loaded: (ConfigurationOfFilesystem project version: '2.0.1-baseline') load (ConfigurationOfFuel project version: '1.4') load OR (ConfigurationOfFuel project version: '1.5-baseline') load If you run PRFuelPersistencyTest, then you'll see the stack trace. I saw the same problem with 1.4 and with 1.5-baseline. In the 1.5-baseline, I added #fuelIgnoredInstanceVariableNames to PRFuelPersistency and FSMemoryStore (to ignore 'directory' and 'root', respectively) but the same problem remained. So I think it's a bug. Despite the test failing, the PRFuelPersistency works as expected to save/restore a Pier kernel to/from a file. The file is 30 times smaller than the corresponding (uncompressed) SIXX file.
