This one seems to be a clang bug.  Inserting a printf in the -dealloc 
method, it *is* being called and is storing the true value in the 
global, but clang is optimising this away.  This bug doesn't appear in 
the FreeBSD packaged version of LLVM 8, so it's probably recent 
breakage.  I'll try to put together a reduced test case.

Removing static from the declaration of deallocCalled fixes the test.
