The test was a rather crude (but successful) attempt to demonstrate the
ClassCastException. Thanks for providing the better testcase. I verified that
it succeeds with this PR, and also demonstrates the ClassCastException if I
revert my previous change in ClassCache. I pushed this new test, and removed my
old one.
