A new version of Kernel was added to project The Inbox:
http://source.squeak.org/inbox/Kernel-ct.1409.mcz

==================== Summary ====================

Name: Kernel-ct.1409
Author: ct
Time: 22 August 2021, 6:18:06.141465 pm
UUID: 003f761f-f99d-c245-a431-dcf1cb8405ba
Ancestors: Kernel-eem.1408

Fixes a simulation bug when returning from a sender that is a bottom context.

Examples to reproduce:

-	sender := thisContext swapSender: nil.
	^1
-	sender := thisContext swapSender: nil.
	true ifTrue: [^ 1].
-	[sender := thisContext swapSender: nil.
	true ifTrue: [^ 1]] value.

Without this patch, #return:from: would return nil instead of activating #cannotReturn: so simulating instead of executing e.g. the first example would not open the expected "computation terminated" debugger. See http://lists.squeakfoundation.org/pipermail/squeak-dev/2021-May/215762.html for more information.

Thanks to Jaromir (jar) for pointing to this bug!
