Derek,

If you're using a method that references a non-existent variable, all
bets are off.  It's about as close as Squeak gets to the
random-memory-corruption bugs I used to struggle with in C ;).  It doesn't
surprise me at all that you were having odd unpredictable behavior that
cleared up when you reintroduced this inst var.

As for understanding better what was going on, I don't know enough about
how class reshaping, etc, works to enlighten you, I'm afraid.  Anyone?

Avi
