    Working on GST my personnal fork of GNU Smalltalk. I've fixed a small issue regarding the object table in 64 bits you can expect to create much more objects without reaching an out of memory. Also I've improved the VM code specialy the way the objects were GCed and initialized so it brings much more flexibility to change the object layout (adding a new field at the VM level for instance) and added a static assert that will warm the developper ;-)
