No, they're little instances of SystemWindow with 'Syntax Error'
titles.  The progress bar stops.

No, the code doesn't load.

Well, I couldn't stop pounding my head against this wall.  I had
another idea after you mentioned quoting the symbol.  So...

1.  I extracted the snapshot/source.st file.

2.  I changed the class definition to quote the symbol.

3.  Filed it in and made it past the class definition.

4.  Bombed on the next expression (definition of hexCode on the class side).

!TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA class methodsFor: 'constants' stamp: ''!

TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_3DESNothing more expected ->_EDE_CBC_SHA class
methodsFor: 'constants' stamp: ''

5.  Changed it to...

!(Smalltalk at: #'TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA') class
methodsFor: 'constants' stamp: ''!

6.  Made it past the definition of hexCode, i.e., it's in the image.
Bombed on the next one, an instance method named bulkCipherAlgorithm.

TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_3DESNothing more expected ->_EDE_CBC_SHA methodsFor:
'accessing' stamp: ''

I'm stopping for tonight, no kidding.  :)  Funny it doesn't point to
exactly the same place as it does with the class definition.

I'll revisit the freshness of my image (later).  Yours seems to handle
underscores in class names much better than mine.  I see many
subclasses of SSLCipherSuite with names including underscores.

I have a vague memory of Ron Teitelbaum mentioning it but so far I've
failed to find it.

Thanks,
