dynamic binding in initializers

I burned myself today with a pattern I've been using for ages. I have lots of UIView subclasses which could be initialized with initWithFrame: or initWithCoder: so I have one -(void)internalInit method which I call from both of them to do the real work. Of course eventually I went and subclassed one of my own classes and the call to internalInit inside the init method of the superclass was routed to the subclass one (which then got called again of course when the subclass called it), result, badly initialized superclass, leaky subclass.

ok in objective-C init just isn't special so I shouldn't have expected it to call the local init. Is there a way I could have forced the call to be interpreted at the superclass level, or should I change my 'internalInit' to 'internalInit<myClassNameHere>' to stop this happening? _______________________________________________
