Description

GroovyCategorySupport has bug in methods prioritization logic, that can lead to infinite loop.

Please try this snippet in groovy 1.6-beta-2:
groovy -e "org.codehaus.groovy.runtime.GroovyCategorySupport.use(groovy.servlet.ServletCategory,

{println 'Hello'}

)"

I just tried it in specified version of Groovy, downloaded from http://build.canoo.com/groovy/artifacts/20080603122913/dist/groovy-binary-1.6-beta-2-SNAPSHOT.zip

Groovy hangs up.

The solution is quite simple (see patch).
