I ran the space tally on Cog and did not get a crash. But then I tried
CompiledMethod basicNew on Cog, and hung the image. I did not look into
the details beyond that. I'm assuming at this point that CompiledMethod
class>>basicNew is a Bad Thing.

Obviously the VM should not crash, but given that it may do so, I patched
spaceForInstancesOf: to call #new in the case of CompiledMethod.
