[Vm-dev] 'Run object as method' is flawed in VM

[Igor Stasenko]

I tried to play with this feature and found that if i install a
smallinteger into method dictionary as a method
and then try to invoke that method, my VM is crashing.

testCrashWithSmallInt
	self class methodDict at: #answer10 put: 10.
	self should: [self answer10] raise: MessageNotUnderstood.
	self class basicRemoveSelector: #answer10.
