MethodDictionary has a method "growNoBecome". It is invoked by "MethodDictionary>>fullCheckNoBecome". It is invoked by "MethodDictionary>>at:putNoBecome:". It is invoked by ????? (that is nobody).
Can anybody explain this or should I generate a bug report?
Hi Ralph,
when I saw this the first time, it seemed that the methods without *become* in their name, would do a #become: but they did not.
Even if somebody tried with aMethod #become:, sooner or later the .image would crash: #becom:ing methods that can be in use by the VM is always a very bad idea. So it rather looks like the methods you listed are 100% pure[tm] rot or crap.
I have no idea if any of the Squeak forks exhibit the same behavior.
I suggest to remove them or, if you feel inclined, to deprecate them.

I am running Squeak 3.10.2.
