So I have fixed the code of primitiveDecompressFromByteArray from
MiscPrimitivePlugin
but IT'S NOT IN VMMaker... I fixed the Squeak trunk version
(Graphics-nice.385), I presume there is a similar thing in Pharo.
We can't continue with this Misc thing, it's not manageable.

I've also pushed the fix on github.

Now remains the 64bits cog spur VM problem


Then there will be the problem of the 64bit cog spur vm...
