When multiple threads are generating the same DynamicScope class, both threads may try to generate the same class at the same time. When the second thread hits defineClass, it throws a LinkageError becuase the class has already been defined. With this change we catch this exception and call loadClass to get the class that the previous thread created.

Maybe we should just lock around the class generation bit? |

I will incorporate your patch but with some double-checked locking around class generation, so we can simply avoid the exception when there's parallel generation going on. |

This is an enhancement to #4285 to avoid the exception altogether. Any remaining exceptions that bubble out are intended to do so, so we can see them and get reports and fix them. This modification should effectively prevent double-loading (which caused the LinkageError) but have reduced overhead.
