Sounds okay so far. If the classPool dictionary correctly shows the
values, the class vars are indeed properly initialized. But you're saying
that on the instance side, their value is nil? For example, when selecting
and inspecting it in the browser?

It might happen (although it is very unlikely) that the instance method
references another "copy" of the class variable binding. Recompiling the
method should fix this. It's also a good idea to inspect Undeclared in
such cases. If this still does not help, inspect the literals of the
compiled method. Or better, ask again and send some source code
demonstrating your problem ;-)
