This doesn't do what you want.  It's trying to call the "find_start"
and "scan_header" methods on the Parser Class object.  There are
several possibilities to do this correctly:

1. Call self.instance_method(:find_start) to get an unbound method,
which you'll need to #bind before calling it.

2. Construct your "methods" table in #initialize, and use
self.method(:find_start) to get a bound method.

3. Don't build a method table at all.  Do this instead:

def scan(line)
     self.send(@state,line)
end

Ed
