This is fixed.

The 'Vtable' function actually was a MMD infix function (__add) - I 
should have mentioned this in the first place. 'is no longer necessary' 
isn't quite correct. Usually there is no need to call any of these 
builtins directly, as Parrot's MMD system handles operator overloading.
And finally: the bug is fixed.

Thanks for the summary,
