No, an UndefinedObject has Object somewhere in its superclass chain.
I'm talking about setting the superclass to *nil*.

UndefinedObject ~= nil

:)

Here's the class definition for ObjectTracer:

nil subclass: #ObjectTracer
	instanceVariableNames: 'tracedObject recursionFlag '
	classVariableNames: ''
	poolDictionaries: ''
	category: 'Kernel-Objects'

Look at it to make sure you're doing the right thing.
