A strange NullPointer

I thought my days of problems with the old "getWorld().removeObject(this)" were over, but they seem to have come back in a strange way. The code itself is very simple and I use it all the time without problem: 
public void checkRemove()
    {
        if(remove)
        {
            getWorld().removeObject(this);
        }
    }
This method is called as the LAST call from the act() method by any given object. My question here is why is "this" a null pointer? I've already tested and determined that "getWorld()" is not a null pointer.

'this' cannot be a null pointer. So, I'm guessing you're incorrect about 'getWorld()' not returning null. Note that it returns null only if the actor has already been removed from the world, so I'm guessing that's what has happened in the case when you get an exception.

Hmm, I'll have to look into it further, it's always a possibility.

Well, all appears to be fine and dandy after cleaning up a bunch of code, I think I must've called the method twice? That was more difficult than it should've been :D.
