I'm not working with the newest update, but a few things that come to my
mind:
- look at the bytecode to see if the code is actually what you think it
is
- may be the bugs be caused by wrongly bound objects like symbols,
characters or other "global" objects?
- is the method compiled for the right class structure?
Especially the last two usually go away by simply recompiling a method,
thereby updating the bindings.
