Bad code generation for Firefox

[David Given]

I'm running into a situation where GWT is generating code that won't run
on Firefox. (It runs fine on Opera and the hosted browser; haven't tried
IE yet.)

It's generating the following code for a particular method (in PRETTY mode):

function $getTextBrowser(this$static, name){
return dynamicCast($get_2(this$static._textbrowsers, name), 10);
}

...but producing the error message 'thisstatic is undefined'.

Before I go and try to put together a test case, which is not going to
be fun, has anyone seen anything like this before?

I'm using GWT 1.4.61 for Linux.

Hmm, thanks.

(Summary: that's what happens in some circumstances if you call a method
on a null instance variable.)

I'll check the code (which I don't have access to right now) to see if
there are any code paths where I end up not initialising the object
properly. My code flow is pretty simple so I don't *think* there are,
but it's worth double checking...
