memory leak in bsh.Interpreter due static field

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Interpreter.java has a static field which will hold a back reference to the 
first created Interpreter instance and all local variables of this interpreter.

Simple test case to reproduce:

    public void check_for_memory_leak() throws Exception {
        final WeakReference<Object> reference = new WeakReference<Object>(new Interpreter().eval("x = new byte[1024 * 2024]; return x;"));
        while (reference.get() != null) {
            System.gc();
            Thread.sleep(100);
        }
    }
