Another interesting timing/process bug

Hi -

Not sure how many people use it but BlockContext>>valueWithin:onTimeout: 
doesn't deal correctly with non-local returns which can have 
"interesting" effects to say the least. For those of you using it, I 
recommend applying the following fix immediately:

	http://bugs.squeak.org/view.php?id=6628

This is in particular interesting if you call valueWithin:onTimeout: 
repeatedly as illustrated in the tests accompanying the above fix.

Cheers,
   - Andreas
