  A hackerly way to fix it is to create a Text in the project, type

  World attemptCleanup

into it, and press Ctrl-d.  You should get a message:

  2 [or more] repair(s) made

and you can save the image.

This is not a real fix, and I'm still trying to find why it happens.

  This SqueakDebug.log seems showing a different problem.  Hmm.

  Let us see what is going on with the tropfen>>a.  Yes, the data
structure of the script is in an inconsistent state
(currentScriptEditor shouldn't be nil for an existing script).
Somewhere in the course, did the user try to remove the script but got
an error or such?  Or had the script gone through a textual code and
the project was saved at one point?  Script names with umlauts should
be fine, but was some non-latin-1 character used?

  I'll investigate more but any recollection would be helpful.

  For the startup time problem, what were the first a few characters
in ....ffentlich?
