If weak references don't work then I'm not surprised that you get an OOM 
error, because you're probably attempting to load a full representation 
of every class in the API into memory simultaneously!

When I referred to unloading classes, I meant Jode's representation of 
classes in regular old Java data structures; as far as I know, Jode 
doesn't rely on VM class unloading.
