self halt will hang the Squeak UI

Does anyone know why evaluating the following:

|aString|
aString := 'hello world'.
self halt.

 in a workspace will hang the Squeak UI?

Please note that any Seaside applications still function.

Thanks

this is not blocking the UI in my image...
but still you should put self halt before the affectation... or
better, you just remove self halt, select the text and chose "debug
it" in the right click menu...
