Just as a bit more info. I used squeak for several months without ever seeing this error. I used pharo for 3 months without seeing this error. I've only gotten this error in the latest images with the latest vm and get it constantly. Not occassionally, I can get this to happen at least once every 120 seconds or so, sometimes more often. It would seem to be as an outsider, that something must have changed.
it definitely sounds like it. Would be good to investigate what might have changed in the call path that *sets* the variable to check why it is ending up being nil. Maybe it shouldn't be set or initialized to nil but to an empty collection in those cases? Michael
