class>>#'sessionStart' calls TransientRandom>>#'open' which does not exist
http://code.google.com/p/glassdb/issues/detail?id=279

A linked login reports an error during login. It appears that the problem  
is GRGemStoneRandomProvider class>>#'sessionStart' calls  
TransientRandom>>#'open' which does not exist. This was reported by Phil on  
the mailing list and I was able to reproduce it with a fresh 3.0 install  
and get details by adding a stack dump to the  
GsCurrentSession>>#'initialize' method. I believe I have the latest  
packages for GsRandom and Grease-GemStone-Core.

Apparently this is a Mac only problem as I am able to login from linux  
(note the difference in build dates ... perhaps the mac build does not have  
some important bugfixes?):

Grease-GemStone240-Core-dkh.3 added the following method with the  
comment "support for new Random class in 3.0":

TransientRandom>>open
        "noop in TransientRandom instance .. compatible with HostRandom in 3.0"
%

I suspect that something similar is needed in GemStone 3.0.

In 3.0.0Beta5, Thu Apr 28, the entire TransientRandom class has been  
removed ... so the problem appears to actually stem from the fact that the  
mac version for 3.0.0beta5 was apparently not rebuilt (after the random  
issues were resolved), while the linux version was rebuilt...

        Status: Invalid

TransientRandom does not exist in 3.0.0 which we expect to be released any  
day now... The method does exist in HostRandom, which is what is used in  
3.0.0. If you want to avoid the error in Beta5, then add the #'open' method  
to TransientRandom.

Turns out that GemStone2.3 had this issue. Fix for GemStone 2.3 in Grease  
1.0.6.1

GemStone2.4 was fixed when the HostRandom was introduced in 3.0 ...
