Damien,
Please revise why you need to initialize the class...
It is common the use of instance class variables or globals
 and if this is the case, it is recommended to use accessors
 and deferred initialization.
It is not correct to assume that #initialize will be sent and
 it will success (in case of error, your class will be partially
 "initialized").
If you write deferred initialization, ensure that the setting is
 commited at end of the metod, to give a new chance to
 sucess if an error is triggered when constructing the
 initial object.
cheers,
Ale.
