Actually, I think you misinterpreted how to do it. Remember that 'self' and
'super' are the same object, and you would never write:
if (!self)
[self someMethod];
OTOH, if you *did* write that, it ought to be harmless because messaging to
'nil' is harmless. So this *ought* to be harmless too:
if (!self)
[super someMethod];
but you seem to have proved it isn't.
The difference in the second case is that the compiler translates it (AFAIK)
into a call to objc_msgSendSuper instead of objc_msgSend. What I'm winding up
to here is that the failure in messaging a nil 'super' looks to me like a bug
in the ObjC runtime's implementation of objc_msgSendSuper.
