The Inbox: Kernel-jar.1414.mcz

commits-2
A new version of Kernel was added to project The Inbox:
http://source.squeak.org/inbox/Kernel-jar.1414.mcz

==================== Summary ====================

Name: Kernel-jar.1414
Author: jar
Time: 31 May 2021, 11:39:35.749017 pm
UUID: f300b29f-3257-e049-b139-8c05240cb97f
Ancestors: Kernel-jar.1413

finalize #terminate: solution:
- integrate Christoph's solution of BlockCannotReturn's infinite recursion problem
- solve a situation when a process gets terminated in the middle of unwinding another process
- supersede and replace Kernel-jar.1412 and Kernel-jar.1411
- complemented by: KernelTests-jar.406, KernelTests-jar.407, Tests-jar.466, ToolsTests-jar.105


Please remove Kernel-jar.1412, Kernel-jar.1411, KernelTests-jar.405, Tests-jar.465 from the Inbox.
