Hi Sven,
Thanks for all that background information on the history of streams. It
makes everything a lot clearer for me.

My bug is difficult to reproduce because it is triggered only when the
"right" kind of buffer overflow happens. I didn't succeed yet to provoke
it while serializing simple objects such as strings or arrays.
I did manage to reduce my code quite a lot, so here is the shortest
example I have for the moment that provokes the bug:
Metacello new
baseline: 'ComputationalDocuments';
repository:
'github://khinsen/computational-documents-with-gtoolkit:minimal-code-for-serialization-bug';
load.
And then
APLibraryTest new setUp; testScanDirectory
Konrad.
