Problem 632

I'm using a class inherited from G4VSteppingVerbose in Athena, the ATLAS
software framework.  When I'm using this class outside of Athena, I can make it
work.  But inside Athena, in which I cannot call
G4VSteppingVerbose::SetInstance() before the G4RunManager is initialized, I'm
having enormous problems getting the class to work.

While tracing through elaborate debug procedures, I discovered the reason for my
difficulty: Although G4VSteppingVerbose is supposed to be a singleton class,
almost all of the "protected" and "private" variables are _not_ declared static.
 This means that if I somehow manage to instantiate a second class that inherits
from G4VSteppingVerbose, I'm probably going to get segmentation faults and
uninitialized variables all over the place.

As you can guess, this is exactly what happens when I try to run my code within
Athena.

I know you're not responsible for Athena, but since G4VSteppingVerbose is
supposed to be singleton anyway, would it be possible to declare _all_ of its
variables to be static?  That would re-inforce the OO design of the class -- and
incidentally make my life much easier.

Thanks.
