I tried just the general VM patches, and it also segfaults for me.  The 
place it crashes is

...
		commonReturn:	/*  */;
			nilOop = nilObj;
			thisCntx = activeContext;
-->			if ((cntx == nilOop) || ((longAt(((((char *) cntx)) + 4) + 
(1 << 2))) == nilOop)) {
				/* begin internalCannotReturn: */
				/* begin internalPush: */
...

The 'cntx' variable contains a 0 / NULL, whereas nilOop contains 
71049220.  Maybe the check should be for NULL/nil?


This is on Mac OS X.
