I'm using a G5 running Panther for an application 
that doesn't play well with Tiger or anything 
later.

Couple of Applescripts on the machine that use the Satimage OSAX.

All of a sudden, the scripts sort of "uncompliled" those calls.  E.g.,

set foo to change "Bill into "Bob in bar"
turned into
set foo to «event SATIRPLl»"Bill" given «class by  »:"Bob", «class $in »:bar

The script still works, and I can copy that code 
somewhere else and fill in different variables 
and that works, but if I type in the usual 
commands I get compile errors.  Also, the 
Satimage dictionary wouldn't open--> "The 
application is not scriptable."

I  put a fresh copy of Satimage in the 
ScriptingAddditions folder and now the dictionary 
opens, but the commands still won't compile. 
Restarted a few times, of course.

What's going on here?
