Summary: Tomcat, AppContext and LOAD interact unexpectedly

Initial Comment:
If, within Tomcat, you REload a webapp which includes SISC, some 
Scheme code (foo.scm), plus some code in a .jar archive (bar.scm), the 
code in the .jar archive does not appear to be re-read, so that changes to 
foo.scm are visible, but changes to bar.scm, within the .jar file, have no 
effect.

See sisc-users discussions <http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/
forum.php?thread_id=9763976&forum_id=7422> and followups.

I've attached a tarball of source code to demonstrate the problem.  See 
the README inside that for build and reproduction instructions.

That README notes that if the bar.scm code is simply appended to the 
foo.scm code, then everything works as expected -- this might be either 
a class loading problem (via FIND-RESOURCE perhaps?) or a jar caching 
problem (?!?).

This is using Tomcat 5.5.15, the SISC HEAD of 2006 February 22, Mac OS 
X 10.4.5, and Tomcat running in Java 1.5.
