1) If you mean, "hangs", this is fixed by the RecursionLock changes.
Note you can plug them in an existing image with

  Transcript instVarAt: 1 put: RecursionLock new

2) If you mean, "errors out", that's because Transcript show: only
accepts strings right now.  It is a synonym for "nextPutAll:".

I might make it a synonym for "display:" instead.  Before going on
blindly, mailing list people, what do you think?  This will have a
change for  "Transcript show: #($a $b $c)", i.e.

st> Transcript show: #($a $b $c)   "how it is now"
abc

st> Transcript display: #($a $b $c)   "how it would be"
($a $b $c )
