Summary: setting current-class-path produces non-sensical results

Initial Comment:
Step 1: Create a Java class like this:
public class Foo {

    static {
        System.out.println("Bah!");
    }

}

Step 2: Compile it and place it somewhere where it is
*not* reachable by SISC's default class loader.

Step 3: Run SISC and execute the following

(import s2j)
(current-class-path '("<dir-containing-class>"))
(define x (java-class '|Foo|))
(current-class-path '("<dir-containing-class>"))
(define y (java-class '|Foo|))
(eqv? x y)

Result:
"Bah!" gets displayed twice, and the eqv? check returns
false, both indicating that we ended up with two
instances of the same class.

Initial analysis:
|current-class-path| always creates a fresh class
loader. Since classes are bound to their loading class
loader, resolving the same class names in two different
class loaders will result in two instances of the same
class.
