Thanks! You will be awarded an extra-special medal for finding this 
issue before ship date :-) A couple of comments on how to deal with it:

1) I could just redo the entire sources file for rc3. I would prefer 
that because I'd like to have the stamp in the sources file that says 
when new changes have been appended.

2) We could just restore the overwritten license header. This would 
leave the current sources file (sort of) functioning unless you already 
have a copy. I don't really like that too much though.

3) For issues like yours, we could consider verifying the sources file 
by adding a verification, i.e., store a check sum in the image and 
verify that the sources match the check sum. In fact I've got code to do 
that. HOWEVER, it defeats the idea of being able to share the sources 
file between versions (the later sources file by necessity would have a 
different SHA). Any opinions?

Most likely. Can you try searching your entire computer for 
SqueakV41.sources and see if digs up any "interesting" locations?
