1) If you mean, "hangs", this is fixed by the RecursionLock changes.
Note you can plug them in an existing image with
Transcript instVarAt: 1 put: RecursionLock new
2) If you mean, "errors out", that's because Transcript show: only
accepts strings right now. It is a synonym for "nextPutAll:".
I might make it a synonym for "display:" instead. Before going on
blindly, mailing list people, what do you think? This will have a
change for "Transcript show: #($a $b $c)", i.e.
st> Transcript show: #($a $b $c) "how it is now"
abc
st> Transcript display: #($a $b $c) "how it would be"
($a $b $c )
