Sorry for not correct thread title.
I dont need save image in background while all system continue work.
I just want save image from my smalltalk process.
And when I do this I sometimes cant restart image (it crash due to some world cycle activity and freetype plugin failure).
But when I save image manually I never see that situation.
Maybe somebody know why this happen? And how I must save image from some smalltalk process correctly?

The thing is that using #fork to save the image has no effect (other
than wrecking the image), because #snapshot:andQuit: is eventually
calling a primitive that locks the complete VM anyway.
If you want to fork while saving the image you need to use an OS-level
fork, not a Smalltalk-level fork. You can do this with OSProcess for
example (check the Seaside mailing-list archive).
