Hello,

Try changing AthensCairoSurface >> asForm into the following method:

asForm

������ "create a form and copy an image data there"
������ | form |
������ self checkSession.
��������
������ self flush.
������ form := Form extent: (self width@self height) depth: 32.
������ form unhibernate.
������ LibC memCopy: self getDataPtr to: form bits size: self width*self height*4.
������ ^ form

This seems to improve the stability a lot. I have already told Esteban to take a better look.

Best regards,

Ronie

Dear Alexander,

Sine the new FFI of Pharo, using Athens has become unreliable. This is a pity, but fixing this is not trivial at all (we have been trying for years).

What exactly are you doing with Athens?
