[squeak-dev] Error: Attempt to evaluate a block that is already being evaluated

Hi all.

Just a simple question.

Is the inability to evaluate an already evaluating block a limitation of the VM rather than something you are never allowed to do in Smalltalk?

The Closure VM [1] and image [2] fix this problem. It is caused by a bit
of premature optimization that was valuable in the days of yore but is
no longer needed.
