Erk. As I look to see if my foot prints are there. Nope didn't touch any
listenOn: methods. Note of course primSocket:listOn:backlogSize: now works
on the macintosh with the new VM.

But I'm sure I've seen this work. Lets see it seems...  yes they both call
218, then in the VM it now calls primitiveObsoleteIndexedPrimitive, which
then at some point based on a table lookup calls

EXPORT(int) SocketPlugin_primitiveSocketListenWithOrWithoutBacklog(void) {
    if ((interpreterProxy->methodArgumentCount()) == 2) {
        return SocketPlugin_primitiveSocketListenOnPort();
    } else {
        return SocketPlugin_primitiveSocketListenOnPortBacklog();
    }
}

See SocketPlugin>>primitiveSocketListenWithOrWithoutbacklog
which then makes the right call based on the number of arguments.

At least in theory that is how it works.
