Geometry Archiving still not working the way a I wish

[Paul E. Johnson]

In ObserverSwarm, I have a loop that creates "policyRaster" objects,
each is given a name for its title, but geometry archiving doesn't
record them separately.  Instead, I get a .swarmArchiver file that is
corrupted. It looks like so:

(archiver
  (list
    (cons '(recruiter default)
      (list
        (cons 'ProbeDisplay-ObserverSwarm
          (make-instance 'WindowGeometryRecord  #:position '(1232 320)))
        (cons 'ProbeDisplay-modelSwarm
          (make-instance 'WindowGeometryRecord  #:position '(64 64)))
        (cons 'panelWidget
          (make-instance 'WindowGeometryRecord  #:position '(0 0)))
        (cons 'proposalRaster
          (make-instance 'WindowGeometryRecord  #:position '(223 -9)))
        (cons 'stabilityGraph-graph
          (make-instance 'WindowGeometryRecord  #:position '(813 27)))
        (cons 'address@hidden@(address@hidden
          (make-instance 'WindowGeometryRecord  #:position '(442 442)))


Additional runs often crash with this error:
 
*** event raised for error: InvalidArgument
*** function: _i_InputStream_c__getExpr(), file: InputStream.m, line:
229
cons accepts only two arguments*** execution terminating due to error
Aborted (core dumped)


Here is ObserverSwarm snip from buildObjects: (The class WhiteRaster is
subclassed from ZoomRaster.) 


-buildObjects {
   id modelZone;                                   // zone for model.
   int i,j;
   WhiteRaster *  policyRaster;     

   [super buildObjects];
    modelSwarm = [ModelSwarm create: self];
   CREATE_ARCHIVED_PROBE_DISPLAY (modelSwarm);
   CREATE_ARCHIVED_PROBE_DISPLAY (self);
   [controlPanel setStateStopped];
  
   policyRasterList=[List create: self];
 
   for(i=0; i< 4; i++)
     {
   char rasterName[15];
   policyRaster = [WhiteRaster create: [self getZone]];
   [policyRaster setSpaceNumber: i];
   sprintf(rasterName,"PolicySpace%02d",i);
   [policyRaster setWindowGeometryRecordName:rasterName];
   [policyRaster setWindowTitle: rasterName];
    // SET_WINDOW_GEOMETRY_RECORD_NAME(policyRaster);
   [policyRaster setColormap: colorMap];
   [policyRaster setZoomFactor: 4];
   [policyRaster setWidth: [[modelSwarm getPolicySpace:i] getSizeX]
                  Height: [[modelSwarm getPolicySpace:i] getSizeY]];

   [policyRaster pack];                             // draw the window.
   [policyRasterList addLast: policyRaster];

     ....other rasters are created in here....
      }
     
This creates 4 separate "policyRaster" objects which are named
PolicySpace00, PolicySpace01, PolicySpace02, and PolicySpace03. Their
Titles in the graphs show up that way, but the swarmArchiver still does
not record their positions separately.
