new returning the same memory....

[Codifies]

when creating a new instance of a class

aclass a = new aclass();

I was under the impression that this created a new chunk of 
memory on the heap...

however I'm trying to create this class instance in another 
classes method, I also need to store a pointer to this newly 
created instance in the same method.

when I look at the actual value of the pointer, although it does 
change after multiple goes, frequently its the same value.

It almost looks like its allocating on the local stack and its 
made a new instance thats entirely local to the factory method.

do I need to manually allocate the memory ?? how do I do this? 
how can I allow the GC to clean this up?

I'm *really* discombobulated now, as new doesn't seem to be 
working how I thought it did!!!
