The problem is that the method header in question reads:

  "popeye" formalHeaderPartsFor: "olive oil" aSelector

if you edit the method and remove the comments, it won't complain any more. 
That is, this is the fixed version:


formalHeaderPartsFor: aSelector
	"Return a collection giving the parts in the formal declaration for 
aSelector.  This parse is in support of schemes in which adjutant properties 
of a method can be declared via special comments secreted in the formal 
header" 

"	The result will have
     	3 elements for a simple, argumentless selector.
		5 elements for a single-argument selector
		9 elements for a two-argument selector
		13 elements for a three-argument, selector
		etc...

	The syntactic elements are:

		1		comment preceding initial selector fragment

		2		first selector fragment
		3		comment following first selector fragment

        ----------------------  (ends here for, e.g., #copy)

		4		first formal argument
		5		comment following first formal argument

        ----------------------  (ends here for, e.g., #copyFrom:)

		6		second keyword
		7		comment following second keyword
		8		second formal argument
		9		comment follwing second formal argument

         ----------------------  (ends here for, e.g., #copyFrom:to:)

	Any nil element signifies an absent comment."

	^ Scanner new scanMessageParts: (self methodHeaderFor: aSelector)

"
	Behavior class formalHeaderPartsFor: #formalHeaderPartsFor:
