I never found the issue, but I backtracked al the code, to prior to making class tagging changes. PromisesLocal, ELinda, and all of Crypto, aside from 2 ASN1 issues with X509. ParrotTalk and PromisesFar with 38 errors...onwards!

I am using this Image and VM. To reproduce the issue, load 'ESqueak.release.3' into a scratch remote promises image...then run the code below, in a workspace: get walkback <EXCEPTION>. Now debug the code and walk through it: <RUNS> fine, no exceptions.
