Summary 0006980: Loading FFI kernel makes NetNameResolver unresponsive
Description Image: Squeak 3.10beta7159 and Squeak 3.9#7067
VM: Squeak 3.10.6 (from Aug 30, 2007) on Win Vista

Evaluate:
  NetNameResolver addressForName: 'www.squeaksource.com' timeout: 20

this returns a ByteArray with the IP.

After loading FFI 3.9.1 using Universe Browser the above code does not
return. (you can only break using cmd-dot)

This starts to happen directly after FFI-Kernel-ar-8.mcz is loaded
via install script from source.squeakfoundation.org/FFI
(with FFI-Kernel-ar7.mcz leads to the same problem)

When loading FFI-Kernel-ar6.mcz it works as expected - the IP is
instantly returned. So the problem seems to depend on the change
from version 6 to 7.

Tested on a Squeak3.9 and Squeak3.10 image (see above)

 How does one recreate that problem? I got stuck when trying to "update list from network" with UPackage>>decodeFromXMLElement: so I can't investigate the problem (stack below).

 Even if the help -> about tells me "Squeak 3.10beta7159" as version it's the gamma package I downloaded.

Please try: http://ftp.squeak.org/3.10alpha/Squeak3.10.gamma.7159.zip [^] and
make sure to use the image in a new directory.

Steps I've done and that worked to reproduce:
1. World menu "Open" -> "Universe Browser Basic"
2. Button "Update list from network"
3. Select "System" and "FFI version 3.9.1" in the tree
4. Select "Select package" and "Install selections"

If you have a problem with package universe browser again we should open
another issue.

However, the universe browser points to
http://map.squeak.org/accountbyid/cf58c358-46ee-465e-b6db-2740e9b32a53/files/InstallFFI3.st [^]

a simple script loading FFI-Kernel-ar-8.mcz first and then other packages.

To reproduce you can also just add source.squeakfoundation.org/FFI as
HTTP repo to Monticello and load FFI-Kernel-ar-8.mcz manually. After that
the
  NetNameResolver addressForName: 'www.squeaksource.com' timeout: 20

does not return anymore.

If you load FFI-Kernel-ar6.mcz manually it still works as before loading the
FFI Kernel.

 Andreas commented at http://lists.squeakfoundation.org/pipermail/squeak-dev/2008-March/127208.html [^]

Yeah, I had forgotten about the problem. The issue comes from a call to
Smalltalk>>recreateSpecialObjectsArray (which is required for the FFI to
work correctly) and which accidentally nukes the external semaphore
table. The fix is simple: Replace the following line in
SystemDictionary>>recreateSpecialObjectsArray

    newArray at: 39 put: Array new.

by
    "Preserve external semaphores when recreating splObjs"
    newArray at: 39 put: (self specialObjectsArray at: 39).

Also, saving and restarting the image after loading the FFI is good
temporary workaround for this problem.

Cheers,
   - Andreas
