Summary

0007534: Perform primitive: fails if method having many arguments

Description

The perform primitive using the currently active context to push
all of the arguments on it, and then do normal send.

But a sender context may be not be big enough (small frame) to accomodate
all pushed values.
Therefore, for methods with many arguments, a primitive may fail.

The proposed fix is to make sure that Object>>#perform:withArguments:
is using a large stack frame size, so when a primitive 84 fails,
and Object>>#perform:withArguments: will be activated,
there will be enough space to push all arguments on context stack
and retry with primitive 100.
