This is Mantis #1041, which is closed on account of the fix being
in the 3.9 stream. But you probably don't have the fix in whatever
image you are actually using, so you can grab it from Mantis if
you need to (
http://bugs.impara.de/view.php?id=1041).
Read the Mantis notes before installing anything. There are a couple
of versions of the fix corresponding to different vintages of Squeak.
SystemDictionary>>recreateSpecialObjectsArray gets changed, so you
should look at this method to make sure the patch is not going to
clobber whatever version of Squeak you are using.
