yes and no, when you are at the newobject line the alias is correct, when you hit the init code it's either right or wrong - there's no line where it changes. fwiw I've now put in hack code to check for it and reset the alias but I'm not really comfortable with that. I'm beginning to suspect a memory leak, it's been my experience in earlier versions of fox that when you hammer the memory you get corrupted pointers or some such.
