All but the last line is sane ;-)  You can't expect a become: to do the
right thing. It'll leave the context's pc wrong, and perhaps its stack
pointer too.  You're looking for

    ctxt privRefreshWith: ctxt method methodClass >> ctxt selector

But what do you want to do?  Are you rewriting a block as a block or as a
method?  What yu have above will do the latter, not the former.
