this is a bug in outputting the value of this pointer in css -- it is
in fact set and non-null, but the printout of it shows NULL!  I just
fixed this.  To convince yourself of this, try 'print
.processes.EpochProcess.cntr' and you'll see the correct values..

So, it is in fact set..  

In any case, you wouldn't want to do SetPointer on this particular guy
because the rest of the code isn't expecting this extra ref count --
the standard code just does cntr = ptr...
