rhino class aliasing

In the release demo (browser frontend):

/tmp$ rhino
js> 5 + 7
12
js> 5 + 6
11
js> 
/tmp$ 
/tmp$ java -classpath /sys classes.demo.Fib
fib(20) = 6765
/tmp$ rhino
js> 5 + 7

Looks like we somehow have two java.lang.String classes loaded at once. I haven't been able to reproduce this with anything other than Rhino, though.

Huh? Are you using the latest version? This problem would only manifest if you had caching enabled.

How did you interrupt rhino? You didn't use exit()?

$ rhino
js> 5+7
12
js> 5+6
11
js> exit()
/tmp$ java -classpath /sys classes.demo.Fib
fib(20) = 6765
/tmp$ rhino
js> 5+7
12

Looks like it was due to me crashing Rhino with a broken Ctrl-D. Works fine now.
