Hmm. There should be no changes in the hashes; stringhash is obsolete
now that Symbol>>hasd and String>>hash are the same. Also,
MethodDictionary's should be using identityHash. (Perhaps they are not
?!) Apparently the changeset is goofed somehow, but I don't know
how.....
You should know, by the way, that some hope has surfaced after all that
my old pre-loaded islands image may be recovered. So maybe leave this
lying for a few days. Nevertheless, a summary of what you had to do
would be nice. :) I would think the priorities for islands are:
1. factor out the VM changes
2. update it for Squeak 3.4
For the update, the same work you have gone through is likely to be
necessary again.
