Hi Mariano,
if you take the download Image from the Pharo website, then load commandShell and then zinc from the catalog browser and then do
Delay delaySchedulerClass: DelayMillisecondScheduler.
and then
20 timesRepeat: [OSProcess ��command: ('echo "Hi there"').]��
Then you will get the lock.
Does this help to find the reason for the problem?
Regards
Sabine
