[Glass] SymbolDictionary in a wrong place ...

[James Foster]

Martin,

One of the characteristics of Smalltalk is that it is certainly possible to mess up your environment. Yet I’d be curious to know what error is reported by Jade. If you somehow corrupt things but do not commit, then an abort should be able to get things back to a workable state. (Even if abort doesn’t work, you should be able to log out without committing, which will effectively do an abort.) Also, I’d be interested to know if you can log in as SystemUser (rather than DataCurator). Is the GUI broken then? I don’t find any senders or implementors of #’rawClasses’ in either Jade nor in GemStone/S.
