Bit 0: tells the VM that the image's Process class has threadId as its 5th inst var (after nextLink, suspendedContext, priority & myList)

to others at the same priority.
Bit 3: in a muilt-threaded VM, if set, the Window system will only be accessed from the first VM thread
Bit 4: in a Spur vm, if set, causes weaklings and ephemerons to be queued individually for finalization
