  Andreas (and Boris)
   
  You are right Andreas (and Boris). I didn't have Squeak around when I answered Boris' email, and by just briefly looking at the changeset I thought that he wanted to get rid of the special treatment of metaclasses in the condition "(oldClass == nil or: [oldClass isMeta not])". Now I see that he didn't and it is still ensured that there is always a sole instance of each metaclass.
   
  Thus, as far as I can see, Boris' fix is completely safe and should probably be inclueded into the official image...
   
  Cheers,
  Nathanael
   
  BTW: I messed around with some of the critical classes after filing in Boris' changeset, and I also run my "class hierarchy consistency check method". Everything worked perfectly fine!
