Yeeeooowwww!  The new 3.6.2 VM has lost support for becomeForward:copyHash:.

  String new becomeForward: #size copyHash: false

works fine in the last 3.5.1 VM, but not in the 3.6.2 VM.

Brent Pinkney put a lot of good effort into this and it is essential to
becomeForward: to a Symbol safely (as in the above example).

May we get this previously-approved primitive put back into the latest 3.6.2
VM?

Thanks,
  Chris
