Description

Steps to reproduce:
1. Retrieve an IModuleInfo from a data structure that maintains all outstanding IModuleInfo in the application (loaded modules).
info:IModuleInfo = ... // an IModuleInfo that is loaded (has not been unloaded)

2. call the factory create method to instantiate a module
var instance:Object = info.factory.create();

3. Check if the instance is a module – It usually is, and is supposed to be one

4. Repeat this process rapidly

Actual Results:

The instance will occasionally be null.

Expected Results:

The instance is always a valid module

Workaround (if any):
