What to do with this backtrace: VFS.VFSHandler nameIn: ''!

Hi, I've got the following backtrace I don't know how to
handle:

VFS.VFSHandler nameIn: ''!

Gives the backtrace:
Object: #VFS error: did not understand #between:and:
Symbol(Object)>>#primError:
MessageNotUnderstood(Exception)>>#defaultAction
optimized [] in Exception class>>#coreException
MessageNotUnderstood(Signal)>>#activateHandler:
MessageNotUnderstood(Exception)>>#signal
Symbol(Object)>>#doesNotUnderstand:
String(SequenceableCollection)>>#at:ifAbsent:
Namespace>>#nameIn:
VFS.VFSHandler class(ClassDescription)>>#nameIn:
UndefinedObject>>#executeStatements
nil


How can I find the class name and overcome this problem? It
works for
other classes just fine (for example: String nameIn: ''!)

Greetings,
  Bram

nameIn:'s argument is an AbstractNamespace, not a string. 
This just
happens to work for the case you mention because
SystemDictionary's
nameIn: method (which happens to be used for classes in
Smalltalk)
ignores its aNamespace argument.

As Stephen said, you should use "VFS.VFSHandler
nameIn: Smalltalk" instead.
