Hi All,

     I've updated http://ftp.squeak.org/Cog with new source,
OpenSourceCog-oscog.16.tar.gz/VMMaker-oscog.16.mcz that fixes the three
issues people have found:

Nicholas' crash on loading SUnit.dtl.?? which was a very nasty bug in the
GC'ing of some trace logs the VM maintains.  It was down to a difference
between Smalltalk's \\ and C's %, specifically that the latter can answer
something of different sign to the modulus.

The failure of GeneratorTest, superficially due to cannotReturn: crashes,
but fundamentally to do with inter-page returns to frames within the page
not preserving the frames above, which can be in use due to co-routining
(swapSender: usage).  I hope this will fix Seaside on Cog.  Please let me
know.

Crashes due to temps occurring in very simple blocks (that Cog compiles
frameless) e.g. [ | b | 5 ] value.

HTH
Eliot
