You'd have to talk to the Sophie people ;)
http://forum.world.st/VMMaker-Inlining-loop-with-MiscPrimitivesPlugin-on-Pharo-tp360979p361075.html

And "not talking to anyone working on the vm" is somewhat of an
exaggeration, there were multiple other threads on the topic at the time,
including the one where Andreas fixed the bug in the primitive the
workaround wrapper/rename was meant to avoid;
http://forum.world.st/latest-vmmaker-wont-run-with-pharo-1-1-1-dev-td3030221.html

IIRC, I kept checking periodically if stable released vm's including the fix
were available on all platforms it so the workaround could be removed, but
after a year and a half or so without a new stable windows release, I sort
of gave up/forgot about it :(

+1 to renaming it back now and removing the fluff in the Pharo image.
It's been 7 years since the issue in the primitive (which the extra wrapping
of findSubstring: worked around) was fixed, and since opensmalltalk-vm got
off the ground, there hasn't been a VM in general use that didn't include
it.

Cheers,
Henry
