KNOWN BUGS
1/1/85 assigning a block to a variable will usually cause memory reference
cycles, resulting in the number of increments and decrements not
being equal following execution.
(not really a bug, caused by the implementation - blocks need to
access the context, which includes the local variables, which
includes the block, which needs to access the context ... )
1/1/85 The stack size allocated by the parser is fixed. It should be
computed by the parser and varied for different methods.
1/1/85 system should be modified to allow execution on system with no
``system()'' system call (whew!). This would involve using two
programs - a parser to take class descriptions and turn them into
internal form, and the smalltalk system. Should be easy to do,
however.
2/1/85 fast loading does not work on the HP9000
4/1/85 if you modify the class Smalltalk (and thereby the pseudo variable
smalltalk) the pseudo variable does not get properly initialized.
4/1/85 Because of bootstrapping peculiarities, a few classes (such as
Object or Symbol or String) do not respond to the message ``variables''
correctly.
