Any way to diagnose a package that is hurting an image?

I've got some old Seaside 2.8 code that is probably loading
something VW7.7 doesn't like but am not sure what.. I do
know that if I take a vanilla image, add Seaside (3.0) and
a few other contrib packages and then load my own code, I
frequently can't save the image afterwards.  I get a small
window up entitled "visual" with no content and VW just
hangs.. I've done this about 4-5 times this evening and
am a bit stumped.. Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance!

It sounds familiar, although I had the problem starting up an image.  In
my case, I had a priority 100 process crash (e.g.: the process coming
back from a snapshot) in a way that stopped and also prevented the
debugger from coming up.  Since you're having the problem with saving an
image, I'd instrument UnhandledException>>defaultAction to write stack
dump to a file each time the method runs.  Thus, if the debugger becomes
necessary when an error is not handled, at least you know what's going
on even if the debugger fails to come up as a result of the problem.

Andres.

You can watch the list of prereqs that get loaded in the Transcript. Or
you could load the Seaside bundle from store and then anything "extra"
that gets loaded as a prereq -won't- be in the Seaside bundle.

sounds like a borked subsystem, system event interest or dependent of
ObjectMemory.

Holger,

A bit off topic but is sounds that you are not using Store?
