[Vm-dev] Root bit on active context? Closure VMs and thoughts on flushExternalPrimitives.

[John M McIntosh]

Er I think my question was why is

        ((self longAt: activeContext) bitAnd: RootBit) = 0 ifTrue:[

always false if the comment implies 1 3.8 shouldn't  have the RootBit  
set?

and

flushExternalPrimitives then grinds thru all the objects to do self  
flushExternalPrimitiveOf: oop
but snapshotCleanUp  does the same work (or so it appears), which  
would mean the flushExternalPrimitiveOf: would be pointless at startup  
time.
