Ok, but what about

totalObjectCount _ self adjustAllOopsBy: bytesToShift.

where bytesToShift is zero, and in adjustAllOopsBy you do
bytesToShift = 0 ifTrue: [ ^ nil ].
thus setting totalObjectCount to zero which is needed to be non-zero in  
initializeMemoryFirstFree: ?

You could use one of the header words on the save to remember  
totalObjectCount ,
On the read if that word is zero I think you'd need to change the if  
logic to do the count even if bytesToShift is zero?
