No problem Peter - Iâll raise a bug (as it happened, I had save my image a few hours before and epicea got back the few things I had changed since). Rather strangely - even just trying to debug âmyList nextâ (as in right click and pick debug it) seems to hang my image too (I didnât expect that). Tim

Hi Tim. Sorry you crashed your image. I owe you an apology, because when I looked at the code for LinkedList, I thought there was something odd, but I dismissed it thinking ' they must have thought of that!' I think the problem is that LinkedList inherits #after: from SequenceableCollection, meaning it uses #atIndex: rather than following the links. Even so I don't see why it loops; surely going outside the range of the index should be a known error condition. Anyway, between us we may have discovered a bug in LinkedList. Do you feel stirred up enough to raise it as an issue?

Hi Peter - yes of course you are right that its malleable, I guess Iâm often suprised about the things we leave out and then discover weird things weâve put in.
I had a quick look at LinkedList (I should have thought of that) - I might be able to do something with that (and this is now more out of curiosity) - but gosh its an easy way to crash your image. Having linked the first to the last, and then tried a quick: list after: $n - Iâm now guessing Iâm stuck in an infinite loop that even Cmd . wonât break out of!!!! ouch.
