And of course if you actually need to debug the code, just run the
Squeak VM under a debugger, such as gdb if you are on a GNU platform.
Then when your primitive core dumps, you will be a a debugger instead
of just crashing the VM and wondering what went wrong.
Not that I would admit to ever having needed to do this.
