This was posted by Trygve Reenskaug earlier today.
I did only the postprocessing that is needed to bring this fix
into our Bug fix archive viewer (BFAV).

We can easily include this method, there is no reason
for not doing it. There is however a situation
when it is erhaps better not to use Float>reciprocal.
Look at  WindowingTransformation>>applyInverseTo:,
where we read:

transformedObject scaleBy: 1.0 / scale x @ (1.0 / scale y)

This is not the same as  scale reciprocal: The expression
1.0 / scale x @ (1.0 / scale y)
ensures that we obtain a point with Floats as its coordinates.
Point>>reciprocal  does not introduce Floats for receiver
coordinates that are not already Floats. This is an
issue for the implementation of a fast windowing
transformation.
