[Cuis-dev] releaseActionMap

[Juan Vuletich]

What follows is a conjecture, becaus I can not reproduce the problem.

It is likely that that the events are forming a circular chain of 
references. Our event system is implemented using Weak collections. Weak 
collections can't automatically clean circular chains. That's why a more 
sophisticated techinque "Ephemerons" was developed.

The OpenSmalltalk VM supports Ephemerons, but Cuis is not taking 
advantage of this, and doesn't offer Ephemerons. This is something I'd 
like to add to Cuis in the mid term (this year or next year), unless 
someone beats me to do it.

In any case, I think that if in your windows, in the #close method (add 
it if not there), after calling `super close`, doing `model 
flushEventSystem` could solve the problem.

HTH,
