GroovyClassLoader#parseClass(String) internally generates a dummy file name for the script text passed to it and uses that file name to cache the class it generates. It uses System.currentTimeMillis() to come up with a unique dummy file name.

However, sometimes it happens that consecutive parseClass(String) calls with different script text may take place during the same milli-second causing GCL to following to happen:

// say dummy file name is script4576677673878.groovy. The class gets cached againt this file name.
GCL#parseClass('class A {}') 

// following returns the class A because this call is happening within the same milli-sec and hence has the same file name
GCL#parseClass('class B {}')
