At this late stage, any last minute fixes (which should be very few if 
any) should be discussed & decided upon here on squeak-dev.  I don't 
have time to evaluate the appropriateness of every possible fix for 
3.7gamma versus 3.8alpha.

So in this case, when does this bug occur?  How safe does the fix look? 
  etc.  Okay, after loading the fix the preamble has some explanation 
(the bug occurs when loading projects with bad TextMorphs), and it 
looks like it just adds some ifNil: guards.

Also, it would be better if you had posted as a reply to Ned's original 
fix post (following the Harvesting Process), which would have made it 
easier for me to look up his original post, which I now see mentions 
that other bug reports are probably related, which indicates that it 
may be a fairly common problem, and worth fixing.
