It sounds like a completely plausible fix to me, though Stephen suggested on the mailing list that : "I don't know whether a WeakHashMap works when the keys are Class objects (as Class objects aren't exactly run-of the-mill). " Which is also pretty believable. Could you try out the nightly build from tonight?
