[Gambas-user] more static class confusion

[Rob]

OK, so I converted my Loan class to not use any static methods, 
and changed my little example form to instantiate a copy of Loan 
like so:

PUBLIC Loan as Loan

and then in the form_open (or another sub)

Loan = NEW Loan

When Gambas reaches this line, it dies with "Class 'Loan' is 
static".  If I leave it out, I get "Null object" when I try to 
use Loan's methods, naturally.  If I leave out the PUBLIC Loan 
as Loan declaration as well, I get "Loan.[method] is not static" 
when it tries to run one of the methods.

Changing PUBLIC Loan as Loan to DIM Loan as Loan (in a method) 
doesn't help either.  I even rm -rf'ed my .gambas subdirectory 
of the project and grepped for the word static, and nothing 
turned up.  What am I doing wrong?

The (new) offending version of the project is at
