From can I can see with me newbie search in the VM, it is not used.
splObj: 33
ObjectMemory class >> initializeSpecialObjectIndices
TheInterruptSemaphore := 30. SelectorCannotInterpret := 34.
it jumps from 30 to 34.
I search places doing "splObj: 33" but I didn't find anything.
Maybe the VM guys can confirm or reject this.
Cheers

with manuel oriol we started to play with the idea of a randomTester in

Now doing the first experiments, I found an instance of point (nil@nil)
(besides reciprocal broken on Point (0@0) and
(Point allInstances select: [:each | each x isNil]) first pointersTo
points me to recreateSpecialObjectsArray
I looked into the literals and others and I could not find.
Each time I execute Smalltalk recreateSpecialObjectsArray
I get a new nil@nil objects.... but forcing a GC garbage them. But I still have this nil@nil object around.
Does anybody have an idea from where nil@nil could come from?
