Only if you define "normal" as "offline" ;-). Any operation which uses networking 
(url block) goes through this method and it will fail when run under the 
3.11.3 VM built from unix-3.11.3-vmm or svn trunk.

BTW, Scratch image is just an example which has numbered primitives.

The 3.10-4 VM has primitiveObsoleteIndexedPrimitive in slot 207 in 
platforms/unix/src/vm/interp.c while the 3.11.3 tar.gz and the trunk contain 
primitiveFail. The change crept in r1935 through vmm-dtl-126.

Is this intentional or an oversight?
