Description

The following usages of groovy remote do not work.

remote.exec { new GregorianCalendar().time = new Date() }
remote.exec { new GregorianCalendar()."$methodName"(new Date()) }

Both of these constructs cause a NoClassDefFoundError because somehow a reference to the owner class is embedded in the closure.
