NSSelectorFromString oddity

I am attempting to use the NSSelectorFromString function to create a
selector.  I have used this numerous times before and it has always worked
but something odd is happening this time.  In this program thPikup is a
getter for a pointer to an object.

If I use:

        pikupSelector = NSSelectorFromString(@"thPikup");

        if ([lensSurface respondsToSelector:pikupSelector]){
            thePikup = [lensSurface thPikup];
            thePikup = [lensSurface performSelector:pikupSelector];

Then thPikup is the same for the last two lines.  If I use:

        selectorString = [[NSString alloc] initWithString:@"thPikup"];
        pikupSelector = NSSelectorFromString(pikupString);

        if ([lensSurface respondsToSelector:pikupSelector]){
            thePikup = [lensSurface thPikup];
            thePikup = [lensSurface performSelector:pikupSelector];

Then the first thPikup is the pointer to the correct object and the second
thPikup is a pointer to the lensSurface object.  The weird thing is that the
test -respondsToSelector succeeds for both cases.

Does anyone see what is wrong?

Bruce
