OK, I had a chance to open an image and I see I'm responsible for this problem.
Levente changed the printing method, I recognized an already existing
Fraction>>printTruncatedOn:showingDecimalPlaces: and decided to use
it. But this message is not Integer friendly indeed.

Otherwise, there is no problem if the fraction ivar is an Integer, it
alerady was before, and can continue to be, as long as Integer
instances are polymorphic to Fraction (what they mostly are).
I gonna correct the mess this evening, thanks for reporting!
