Andy, It is not a big problem. When it happens, I simply close the image and re-open it. Clearly any memory leaks should be fixed, but I might be able to help a little; I appear to have something that can tell when an image opens and when it closes, and that is an important part of Dolphin's standard approach to external resources. Perhaps it is just my Dolphin bias showing, but it strikes me as something that needs to be fixed, and I would like to have others test it to look for problems. I will try to follow this with a separate message that will make the code easier to load.

I suspect that some face handles are no being closed properly at shutdown. When a face handle is open, then the FreeType library also has the associated file open. But there is a limit to the number of open file handles - see http://code.google.com/p/pharo/issues/detail?id=1061 for more info on this. When I have figured out what is going wrong in the shutdown, I'll post a fix. Is there a bug issue number for this problem? If not, I'll create one.
