[squeak-dev] Emergency evaluator broken?

I've not run into the emergency evaluator, but I wonder: Transcript
class >> #emergencyEvaluator calls Transcript >> #newInFrame:, which
calls #initInFrame: which checks for a class called Paragraph. (Trunk
doesn't have such a class, because - AFAIK at least - it's an ST80
class). If there's no such class, _it raises an #inform:_. In an
emergency, that's probably not what you want!

So: has anyone used the emergency evaluator of late? Have you used it
in an image without ST80?

Certainly the example usage in Transcript >> #newInFrame: is broken:

(Transcripter newInFrame: (0 at 0 extent: 100 at 200))
    nextPutAll: 'Hello there'; endEntry;
    cr; print: 355.0/113; endEntry;
    readEvalPrint.
