    Hi Paul,

    Your analysis is correct. The problem is that these configurations in
MVEL are made using static properties and so they affect all uses of MVEL in
a single classloading hierarchy. Unfortunately, I don't think there is
anything you can do right now, other than open a JIRA in MVEL to help
convince Mike to make all configurations non-static in MVEL:

http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MVEL
