Yes, but if you recompile your home method I think it will fix it. The
block's method trailer is supposed to point to it source via a
RemoteStringSection but for some reason it isn't getting set all the
way. Before it turns into a RemoteStringSection it holds its source
range, which is what your seeing. I will fix this soon.
I have been working on speeding up the block closure version even more
(without adding other enhancements like Scott's method cache
enhancements). I will post the new version soon with some fixes.
Cheers,
Anthony
