scala.UninitializedFieldError: Uninitialized field

[William la Forge]

I'm wondering if anyone is encountering the same error we are with Scala, or if (hopefully) this is a known problem...

The  problem occurs when creating an instance of a class with about 20 var. The error is random and occurs [significantly] less than one time in a million instance creations. In particular, for us it is occurring when we create a reactor and send it a message. Apparently the reactor starts processing the message before all of its variables are initialized.

scala.UninitializedFieldError: Uninitialized field

We do have a work around--don't use a null initial value:

var longMsgType: Option[String] = None

This complicates our code a bit, and we are loath to use it in all our code. 

Ideas? Comments? Suggestions? 

We're using Scala RC6. Is chckinit turned on by default? Can we turn it off???

I'd try this again on the core scala mailing list...

scala-fresh is absolutely not the right place!
