Not true. Static variables are initialised to nil (or zero) automatically (it says so in the C standard, §5.1.2 - "All objects with static storage duration shall be initialized (set to their initial values) before program startup."). Further, it's entirely acceptable to write the static variable declaration inside the +uniqueInstance method... that controls the scope of the variable name, not its lifetime (which was already defined by the use of the "static" keyword). Neither of those things are the problem... as Mike says, we'd need a stack backtrace to see where the problem lies, and it doesn't look as if it's in this method.
