I've just noticed that class comments have stopped working in Pharo since I upgraded from Xubuntu 12.10 to Xubuntu 13.04.

If I make any change to a comment or add a new comment I get an error in RemoteString - 'RemoteSring past end of file'.

This happens both for Pharo 2.0 images and older Pharo 1.4 images. It happens if I add comments to new classes or to classes where I have previously successfully added comments.

This is where it falls down:


string
��� "Answer the receiver's string if remote files are enabled.
��� Use a read only copy to avoid syntax errors when accessed via
��� multiple processes."
���
��� | theFile |
��� (sourceFileNumber == nil or: [(SourceFiles at: sourceFileNumber) == nil]) ifTrue: [^''].
��� theFile := (SourceFiles at: sourceFileNumber) readOnlyCopy.
��� ^[filePositionHi > theFile size ifTrue: [
��� ��� self error: 'RemoteString past end of file' ].
��� ��� theFile position: filePositionHi.
��� ��� theFile nextChunk] ensure: [theFile close]
���
Anyone else seen this? Anyone got a solution?
