Note that this message is not /the/ usual: the system specializes it

Here it seems that your .sou belongs to a different version of VW:

In your image you can use the launcher menu 'Help'->'About
VisualWorks' to see the image version.
If you open the .sou in a text viewer you can see its version
somewhere near the 10th line.
The .cha files typically hold no image version info.
Another reason that source could be broken is that you transfered it
as text (altering the line-end convention).
