Andreas' fix is now in VMMaker on SqueakSource, and Eliot is adding it
to the cog branch, so this will be in all of the future VM builds. If
you can follow up on removing the Pharo safeguards, that would be
great. You would probably want to do that early next year after the
updated VMs are in general circulation.
