I've attached a ContextPart>>errorReportOn: we use to print more information, the current one dates from the last decade of the last century and really provides too little data on the instance variables and stack size. For example if we could see all of files: we chould see if the pier.changes file is there.
ContextPart>>errorReportOn: strm "Write a detailed error report on the stack (above me) on a stream. For both the error file, and emailing a bug report. Suppress any errors while getting printStrings. Limit the length."
| cnt aContext startPos | strm print: Date today; space; print: Time now; cr. strm cr. strm nextPutAll: 'VM: '; nextPutAll: SmalltalkImage current platformName asString; nextPutAll: ' - '; nextPutAll: SmalltalkImage current platformSubtype asString; nextPutAll: ' - '; nextPutAll: SmalltalkImage current osVersion asString; nextPutAll: ' - '; nextPutAll: SmalltalkImage current vmVersion asString; cr. strm nextPutAll: 'Image: '; nextPutAll: SystemVersion current version asString; nextPutAll: ' ['; nextPutAll: SmalltalkImage current lastUpdateString asString; nextPutAll: ']'; cr. strm cr. SecurityManager default printStateOn: strm.
"Note: The following is an open-coded version of ContextPart>>stackOfSize: since this method may be called during a low space condition and we might run out of space for allocating the full stack." cnt := 0. startPos := strm position. aContext := self. [aContext notNil and: [(cnt := cnt + 1) < 40]] whileTrue: [aContext printDetails: strm. "variable values" strm cr. aContext := aContext sender].
strm cr; nextPutAll: '--- The full stack ---'; cr. aContext := self. cnt := 0. [aContext == nil] whileFalse: [cnt := cnt + 1. cnt = 40 ifTrue: [strm nextPutAll: ' - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -'; cr]. strm print: aContext; cr. "just class>>selector"
strm position > (startPos+150000) ifTrue: [strm nextPutAll: '...etc...'. ^ self]. "exit early" cnt > 200 ifTrue: [strm nextPutAll: '-- and more not shown --'. ^ self]. aContext := aContext sender].
