I'm using self 4.1.2 on SunOS 5.7.
Whenever I start the spy, I get the spy window, which works for a couple seconds, and then my VM hoses, with no response either to the shell running on stdin or the UI.
If I delete the spy window, usually the VM then coredumps, but sometimes just continues unresponsive.
I'm using self 4.1.2 on SunOS 5.7.
The version I use is 5.6 and the only problem with the spy I have is that it comes up nearly entirely off the screen.
Hopefully someone at Sun is using a newer OS and knows how to solve your problem, but I think they are away at ECOOP so your answer might take a while...
