The problem is that something changed the entry for 'en' from 
Latin1Environment to nil.  So the absent block will still fail, although 
this time as an Error and not a recursive, memory-growing loop.

I had in mind:
LanguageEnvironment class>>#localeID: localeID

    ^self knownEnvironments
        at: localeID
        ifAbsent: [
            | env id |
            env := Latin1Environment new.
            id := LocaleID isoString: 'en'.
            env localeID: id.
            self knownEnvironments at: id put: env.
            ^ env].

I had a 'self halt' and it never got called.

I have no idea how it was nilling out the entries.
