Lars -

It turns out that this has been a problem with abandonSources from the beginning (my apologies for casting aspersions on the ClassBuilder and ExtendedSources improvements).  The code that recompiles methods (called when you change instance variables in a class) was not properly handling the "magic temps" trailers.

It was surprising to me that this has gone undiscovered for so long.  However, this only affects resahping of old (ie system) classes - which most people do not do.  Also, normally people retain the little changes file with their shrunken image (my guess is you did not, but I recommend that you do).  If you do this, then new classes added, even with abandoned sources, retain full sources (with comments) on the new changes file, and thus they do not suffer from this problem.

I attach herewith a fix for you to test.  It should work for reshaping pre-existing classes as well as classes newly defined in the absence of a changes file.  I had success with it and, if you do too, I will issue it as an update.

Thanks again for the alert.
