FogBugz (Case [Issue]11009) Compiler Opal - Methods with too many arguments are wrongly miscompiled

A FogBugz case was opened by Clement Bera.

Case ID:      11009
Title:        Methods with too many arguments are wrongly miscompiled
Status:       Work Needed
Category:     Bug
Project:      Compiler Opal
Area:         Misc
Priority:     5 - Fix If Time
Milestone:    Later
Assigned To:  Everyone

URL:          https://pharo.fogbugz.com/default.asp?11009

For the method that has too many arguments :

foo: a f: b f: c f: d f: e f: f f: g f: h g: i h: j g: k g: l g: m l: n l: o o: p q: q r: r s: s t: t u: u v: v w: w x: x y: y Z: z

The old compiler displays the message 'Too many arguments'

On the other hand, Opal miscompiles it to :
Quick return field 248 (0-based)

And this is not an uncommon not used cased, Monticello and metacello use very often methods with 14 arguments (current limit)
