(Oops, I didn't respond to list...)

Hello,

Oh, that's not good. I'm still learning Squeak so I don't know much 
about internals so I can't help much here, but I will try my best.

I did some tests it seems like it's working in 5.3 but not in 6.0. Since 
I badly need some features of 6.0 (new functionality of FFI), I'd like 
to help fix it ASAP. So, here are the steps how to reproduce it:

On both 5.3 and 6.0 (20582) do the following:

 1. Load OMeta2Preload version 14
 2. Load (attached to this email) changeset that makes OMeta2Compiler
    methods compatible with current Compiler interface + reverts change
    made to CompiledMethod>>methodNode
 3. Do it (or print i) the following in a workspace: *OMeta2 match: 555
    with: #number *, or just any other example

Result: on 5.3 should've succeeded (or signal "match failed") with an 
output. On 6.0 will result 
in/UndefinedObject>>findNextHandlerContextStarting./

Hope this somehow helps./
/

PS. I also tried to change superclass of OM2Fail to Error instead of 
Exception, to no avail/./
