[BUG] Can't read fileOuts with bundled methods

Folks -
Somewhere along the line, Squeak seems to have lost the ability to
read fileOuts where one methodsFor header introduces a number of
method chunks, as in...
-------------------------
!ST80NonImmediate methodsFor: 'initialize-release'!
from: anObject
self subclassResponsibility!
class: aClassObject
class := aClassObject!
class: aClassObject oop: oopInteger
class := aClassObject.
oop := oopInteger!
oop: oopInteger
oop := oopInteger! !
---------------------------
Since Squeak dropped this format (in favor of per-method headers
which carry time and author stamps), it's not really a problem for
US. However VisualWorks, among others, still produces this format,
and it seems a shame not to support it. A prededent for such
compatibility exists in the method ClassDescription>>methods whose
sole purpose is to read Smalltalk/V fileOuts.
I am willing to fix this, but I'm writing in hopes that someone else
here has had to deal with this and has already got a fix (which I
would then propose be included in the release).
Thanks in advance for any leads
- Dan
