I just noticed that many primitives do not check methodArgumentCount but just pop a fixed assumed number of arguments. Wouldn't it be better to always check this and fail if called with the wrong count? I guess stack corruption isn't as big a problem for us as it is for other systems, but still ... Another idea might be to "pop: self methodArgumentCount + 1" in the end so it doesn't matter how many arguments were supplied.

Keep in mind, though, that some people like to use Squeak in web browsers. For such people, it is vital that the VM not corrupt memory no matter what code is running at the Squeak level.
