I haven't been following the whole thread, but are you assuming that all classes are initialized immediately when the process launches (similar to C++ static initializers)? Because that isn't the way it works. A class isn't initialized until the first time it's used — by creating an instance, calling a class method, or looking up the class by name.

So it's entirely possible that something unrelated to this class is causing a crash before that class ever gets referenced. Are you able to get a backtrace or crash log?
