I believe you are experiencing a stuck 'left shift' hack syndrome.
If you look in CompiledCode>>getSourceForUserIfNone: method you'll
see a nifty peice of code that is great for intermittent debugging, 
among other uses.  I would guess that you had accidently hit your left
shit on your Mac keyboard while you clicked on a method in the 
Browser.  Now, for some unknown reason, it is always in that mode (maybe
it suposed to act like a toggle?) Try holding down the left shift key
again while clicking on a method.  

By the way, whats being displayed in your browser now is a text representation
of the compiled code.  This is how the byte code interpreter interprets
your method.  It's useful if you are trying to optimize performance of
your method.
