[squeak-dev] Squeak 5.1, saving of Morphic projects is broken

Hello Vaidotas

It can confirm that Project saving worked again in Squeak 4.6 in
December 2015 with the fixes applied done by Colin Putney[1]. I did
some tests then.

The  64bit image is experimental.

I just tested Project saving in Squeak 5.1 (32bit image) in MSWindows
and on Linux. It does not work either. So we need to wait for a VM
update.

With these four changes, it's possible to save and load projects in a
Squeak 4.6 image. It doesn't work in a trunk image, however. The Spur
VM crashes when saving a project. I've reported that on the VM list.
It also fails to load an image segment - looks like the primitive for
that isn't quite finished in Spur.
