Sorry if I'm being not useful, but I just thought that the value of
`nil' should _never_ change, ever.

I once had to debug a problem where `nil' changed its value, and
naturally thought that you have something similar on your hands, and
that I could help.  But if you are sure my question cannot possibly
lead to useful ideas, by no means don't waste your time on my
suggestion.
