Ancestors: System-eem.942

Eliminate an explicit reference to MethodContext in lowSpaceThreshold and make it more accurate for 64-bits.

=============== Diff against System-eem.942 ===============

Item was changed:
  ----- Method: SmalltalkImage>>lowSpaceThreshold (in category 'memory space') -----
  lowSpaceThreshold
  "Answer the low space threshold. When the amount of free memory (after garbage collection)
  falls below this limit, the system is in serious danger of completely exhausting memory and
  crashing. This limit should be made high enough to allow the user open a debugger to diagnose
  a problem or to save the image.  In a stack-based VM such as Cog contexts for activations in
  the stack zone will have to be created as the debugger opens, requiring additional headroom."
