Hi,

There is an annoying bug I've been running into on the 3.8-6665 image.  It
is totally reproducible from a stock image.

1)  Open the image, elect not to do updates.
2)  Open a workspace.
3)  doIt:  Smalltalk at: myForm put: nil
4)  doIt:  myForm _ Form extent: 100 at 100.
5)  Open a Browser.
6)  Middle-click in leftmost (class category) pane, search for class Form.
7)  Left-click on any category in the method category pane.
8)  BOOM!  MessageNotUnderstood: UndefinedObject>>beginsWith:

Seems to be something to do with _ to := conversion and the
SystemDictionary.  Maybe I'm doing something wrong that is making the
system flake out, but I don't think so...?

(testing platform Mac PPC 3.8.6Beta6 VM under OS 10.3.9)

Thanks,
Tim J.
