Now fixed as of r35418:

  $ cat x
  class Foo {
      method list { say "bar"; }
  }

  my $f = Foo.new;
  $f.list;

  $ ./parrot perl6.pbc x
  bar
  $

Note however, that the 'list' method is the one that gets called by
various operators to obtain the list representation of an Object, so
overriding it in this fashion might produce some bizarre results.

Assigning to moritz for spectest update.

Thanks!
