Hi,

I made this change to support simulating primitives in the RSqueak VM. Some
primitives in RSqueak are implemented in the image, i.e., the primitive
handler in the VM calls the simulation code in the image. If this simulation
code fails, it will raise "primitive: 255" which will tell the VM to execute
the fallback code for the original primitive.

Other Squeak VMs should not be affected by this change, since primitive 255
is not used anywhere else.

Best,
Matthias
