Hi all --

I cannot call "Smalltalk condenseChanges" with the latest OSVM on the 
Windows platform anymore.

The 'primitiveFileRename' fails when trying to rename "squeak.changes" 
to "squeak.changes.old" ... and I found interesting code for up to 3 
rename-retries here:

StandardFileStream class >> #retryWithGCuntil:forFileNamed:

I suspect that our CI bundler (squeak-app) times out for the very same 
reason:

https://github.com/squeak-smalltalk/squeak-app/actions

Hmm.... I cannot determine any recent change in the FilePlugin.

So, I checked the latest OSVM builds:

OK: OSVM 2025.12
OK: OSVM 2026.03
ERROR: OSVM 2026.04

:(

Best
Marcel
