Very briefly, is there a general programming discipline that one can follow in
the current Smalltalk-80   that will keep  you  from ever  seeing the  garbage
collection symbol come up while your  method is  running  ?   It seems that if
your method doesn't call anything that allocates new space you  are set.  What
are some of the hidden pitfalls here ?
