Yeah, I wasted a ton of time trying to track that down. I'm sure there is some caching going on with this, and it actually does have some useful side effects. For example, you can write a method that hits a website to establish a session. In another method, you do some other operation w/o having to reinitialize the session. You don't need to share an instance of the object between the methods for this to work. I wonder if there is a way to "clear" this cache?
