[Vm-dev] Squeak COG v3 hangs during startup

[Nicolas Cellier]

Bissecting tells that the problem appeared in
https://github.com/OpenSmalltalk/opensmalltalk-vm/commit/1675e3586bbef2ff198e683ea7839ac1b41fa491

That is somewhere between VMMaker.oscog-eem.2079 (excluded) and
VMMaker.oscog-eem.2126
Quite a large range, but stack.v3 works and spur works too, so not all
changes are relevant...
