You are right that the NoInline annotation is supposed to do exactly what 
you want.  I have this vauge feeling I saw the same bug about a month ago 
with the @Uninterruptible annotation. I have a sneaking suspicion that the 
problem is somehow related to classloaders (annotations are compared for 
equality not just by name, but by classloader too), but I never tracked it 
down to be positive that was the problem.
