This patch doesn't work. To cut a long story short, "classes" is getting
cached inside the ast statement cache and shouldn't be. This is likely
the source of the problems.

Trying to fix that leads to a voyage of discovery of other breakage :(

Its likely going to end up with the EXPORT_FUNCTION implementation
needing rewriting, or at least how/where its getting its class lists
from.

Cheers,
