Keep in mind that using pushRemappableOop: is only safe up to the size
of the remap-buffer (25 items right now). After exceeding it your Squeak
will horribly crash.

So if you have many objects a better solution might be to pre-allocate
them on the Squeak-level and just "fill them in" by the primitive.

And out of curiosity: What does your plugin do?!

Cheers,
