Something similar happened to me when the sources file was not saved
properly when downloaded:
Instead of saving the text shown in the browser I did 'Save Link as...' on
the link pointing to the sources file
http://ftp.squeak.org/3.9/SqueakV39.sources.gz shown as 'SqueakV3.0.sources'
in http://www.squeak.org/Download/

Hope it helps
Bye
Enrico
