Cool! Thanks!

I just tried it on my work machine (Ubuntu 13) and ran into an odd
problem. I'm getting told "MessageNotUnderstood: BlockContext>>". Note
that it is indeed complaining that BlockContext doesn't understand #''
!

The error appears immediately after this runs:

OGLUnixX11LE >> openGLLibraryName
    ^Smalltalk osVersion = 'linux'
        ifTrue: ['libGL.so.1']
        ifFalse: ['GL']

Now on my machine Smalltalk osVersion = 'linux-gnu', but I get the
weird error even when I change the conditional to `Smalltalk osVersion
beginsWith: 'linux'`. I find it utterly bizarre that something should
try to send #'' to anything after this call. Clearly something's gone
wrong, and it's almost certainly not the CCSE. Any ideas?
