no soemthing else is odd/wrong with the VM. I added an initializer for
_gst_initialize_symbol but the code that initializes the symbols doesn't
check if it is present or not. This is why 

  _gst_send_message_internal(_gst_initialize_symbol, 0, result, OOP_CLASS(result));

failed as we had two symbols for 'initialize'. This is because initialize
will already occur inside the _gst_builtin_selector_names. :}
