Misconception 1 happened because I wrongly thought the 'CompiledMethod I had highlighted was the SAME compiled method for the method, just displayed differentyl. .They are not--its obvious now that I know where to look. CompiledMethod(210) in the BlockContext vs CompiledMethod(3931) in the methodDict of the test class I was using. CompiledMethod(210) contains a subset of the bytecodes in CompiledMethod(3931), but its header and number of literals are different.</blockquote> <br> </div></blockquote><br></div></body></html>
