Spur: Fix baaaad bug in checking for still-married contexts in Spur. One *cannot* simply follow what is assumed to be the frameContext field of what is presumed to be a context. On Spur we need to *know* whether we have a valid frameContext field, and for that we have to know there is a valid frame. So refactor, moving isFrame:onPage: from StackInterpreterPrimitives to StackInterpreter, and use it to validate the frame pointer of a maybe married context before testing the context for being forwarded.
All: Avoid cogging methods containing unknown bytecodes early in scanMethod. Use a hack to avoid a test on the common path. Fix assert fail cases in ceInterpretMethodFromPIC:receiver:
Both of these together fix assert fails due to cogging methods containing unknown bytecodes.
Spur: Implement image segments. Use Igor's idea of splitting the computation of the transitive closure from the writing of the image segment for simplicity, even if the two are together into a single primitive for backwards-compatibility.
All: Rewrite the two image segment primitives to pass back an error code on failure, and rewrite the (New)ObjectMemory code to answer informative failure codes.
Print slots of word objects in longPrintOop:
Fix parenthesization bugs in validation code in some Alien plugin primtiives.
Make findClassContainingMethod:startingAt: et al robust in the face of faulted-out classes (nil method dictionaries).
Include the AioPlugin in the Newspeak linux VMs; recent reports indicate it's essential to good performance in recent versions of OSProcessPlugin.
Unix startup script: Quote the LD_LIBRARY_PATH setting to tolerate directory names with spaces.
