[Vm-dev] Possibility of unnecessary remapped object

Hi,

I saw that in the Interpreter>>#lookupMethodInClass:  some temp is  
push in the remmappable stack:

			....
			"MethodDict pointer is nil (hopefully due a swapped out stub)
				-- raise exception #cannotInterpret:."
			self pushRemappableOop: currentClass.  "may cause GC!"
			self createActualMessageTo: class.
			currentClass := self popRemappableOop.
			....

But it seems not necessary since the #createActualMessage take care of  
it?

	Mth
