I have even taken the exact example from the manual and it still is not working. Every time it lets more copies run and the example keeps saying it is the first occurrence. Am I doing something wrong? I mean I even copied the example code to a new file without any change and still it is not working as I expect it to. I have used singleton more times than I can count without error but now  I cannot get it to work at all. I would appreciate some help with this.
