Calling calcShortestPath() twice leads to infinite loop

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?

aStarMap = new AreaMap(mapWidth, mapHeight, obstacleMap);
aStarHeuristic = new ClosestHeuristic(this);
aStarSearch = new AStar(aStarMap, aStarHeuristic);
...
aStarSearch.calcShortestPath(...)
aStarSearch.calcShortestPath(...)

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

At the second call to aStarSearch.calcShortestPath(...) the method 
AStar.reconstructPath() hangs in an infinite loop.

Please provide any additional information below.

I could easily solve this problem by adding the following as first line to 
AStar.reconstructPath():

map.clear();

well that, and add a break/return statement to the condition that checks if 
current node is the same as goal node, which restricts diagonal movements. I 
was in the same situation and when I debugged it...the openList size was not 
reducing rather increasing......
