Indeed in GNU Smalltalk I get Squeak's behavior if y is a global, while
I get the correct behavior if y is a local.  You get the latter with

 Eval [
  |y|
  y _ Continuation currentDo: [:c | c].
  1 printNl.
  Continuation currentDo: [:c | y value: c].
  2 printNl.
  Continuation currentDo: [:c | y value: c].
  3 printNl.
 ]

and the former by removing "|y|" (which makes y work across multiple
Evals) in GNU Smalltalk's REPL.
