Your declaration of the 'theName' element of TestClass.  static in Java
means something different than in 'C'.  If you don't remember (or haven't
learned yet :-) the static declaration modifier basically lets each
instantiation of TestClass share the 'theName' element.  Consequently,
each time you create a new TestClass object with an initializer, all
instances of the TestClass object "get" the new value for 'theName'.

This is not a TINI problem. :-)
