@Petter, thanks for asking. @Bert, etoys 5.0.2408 does not complete "Initializing Squeak security system" on Debian Stretch, but it did on Debian Jessie.
I don't know what's wrong, yet. I've reproduced the problem. CPU is 100%. strace shows the process making syscalls, of which the most frequent are gettimeofday and recvfrom on socket, with occasional SIGARLM. http://dev.laptop.org/~quozl/z/1dHfBq.txt The process has one thread with a backtrace; (gdb) thread apply all bt Thread 1 (Thread 0x7f46b3f3c500 (LWP 954)): #0 0x000055f77704d270 in ??

Perhaps etoys upstream may have some ideas. I've copied Bert.
