I've fixed that. There could be more bugs, as I've never used them beyond the anecdotical examples showing off runtime reflection.
I uploaded a version that fixes two more issues, one affecting the use of reset and unwind blocks and one that affected error handling in Generators. If people want to try this, you can install:
Installer installUrl: 'http://source.lukas-renggli.ch/continuations/Generator-ar.5.mcz'
and check it out. To me this looks pretty damn ready for use, if I hear no strong objections be prepared to find this merged into the Collections package Real Soon Now.

Andreas,
this generator stuff is really cool. It helped me find a solution to a problem I have using a coroutine. I couldn't use a generator because in my case the producer is the one controling the process, So I build my own version of a coroutine following your Generator class.
While studying your code I stumbled upon "[self fork] value" in method reset. Question is, why the block here? wouldn't self fork suffice?
And while comparing with the class from Stephen Pair I asked myself why you didn't implement a finalize methode. Or rather why Stephen tought it necessary to do so.
Would be nice if you could shed some more light on this.
