Better error message for inability to thread.
=============== Diff against VMMaker.oscog-eem.142 ===============
Item was changed: ----- Method: CoInterpreterMT>>disownVM: (in category 'vm scheduling') ----- disownVM: flags "Release the VM to other threads and answer the current thread's index. Currently valid flags: DisownVMLockOutFullGC - prevent fullGCs while this thread disowns the VM. OwnVMForeignThreadFlag - indicates lowest-level entry from a foreign thread - not to be used explicitly by clients - only set by ownVMFromUnidentifiedThread VMAlreadyOwnedHenceDoNotDisown - indicates an ownVM from a callback was made when the vm was still owned. - not to be used explicitly by clients - only set by ownVMFromUnidentifiedThread
This is the entry-point for plugins and primitives that wish to release the VM while performing some operation that may potentially block, and for callbacks returning back to some blocking operation. If this thread does not reclaim the VM before- hand then when the next heartbeat occurs the thread manager will schedule a thread to acquire the VM which may start running the VM in place of this thread.
N.B. Most of the state needed to resume after preemption is set in preemptDisowningThread." <api> <inline: false> | vmThread result | <var: #vmThread type: #'CogVMThread *'> self assert: self successful. cogit recordEventTrace ifTrue: [self recordTrace: TraceDisownVM thing: (objectMemory integerObjectOf: flags) source: 0]. processHasThreadId ifFalse: [willNotThreadWarnCount < 10 ifTrue: + [self print: 'warning: VM parameter 48 indicates Process doesn''t have threadId; VM will not thread'; cr. - [self print: 'warning: Process doesn''t have threadId; VM will not thread'; cr. willNotThreadWarnCount := willNotThreadWarnCount + 1]]. vmThread := cogThreadManager currentVMThread.

"OwnVMForeignThreadFlag indicates lowest-level of entry by a foreign thread. If that's where we are then release the vmThread.

Josh's use case is creating some foreign thread and then registering it with the VM.
