That's true - it happens to me all the time when I use _global(tt) with Xray
and have a circular reference (such as two classes that hold eachother as
listeners).
This was why John had to change his original treeview parser to a
non-recursive method. But it still happens with the trace function.

It sounds like you are confusing polymorphism with multiple

allow for polymorphism.

That's really not what polymorphism is.
Polymorphism is where an Object can be used anywhere where an instance its
