+ - ENH: Fill in Block source position, i.e., an offset of opening bracket. Given a {{{Block}}} instance, one may ask for it's source position by {{{aBlock sourcePos}}}. Moreover, one can get a parse tree (RB) of the block by {{{aBlock parseTree}}}. This allows for nice optimizations in ''!PetitParser'' compiler.  
 - FIX: Fixed bug in Java synchronized method invocation (see [https://swing.fit.cvut.cz/projects/stx-libjava/ticket/84 issue #84].
-- FIX: Fixed FileStream>>position, position: and setToEnd when stream is in non-buffered mode. See commit [http://swing.fit.cvut.cz/hg/stx.libbasic/rev/5e7e40d367f2 5e7e40d367f2]

 - ENH: When VM is compiled in DEBUG mode (default), allocate extra guard pages behind each newspace halve.
 - FIX: Fixed baaad bugs in various allocation routines causing overflow to memory behind newspace and thus trashing whatever data are there. See commit [https://swing.fit.cvut.cz/hg/stx.libbasic/rev/384622fa1a79 384622fa1a79]. Few VM routines suffered the same.
