Yes, that was helpful. My fault of course. I had a comment in place that 
explained exactly what ought to happen. Then the code did the exact 
opposite. An excerpt:
       /* a class loader or other mechanism might have connected 
already. This        * connection must be dropped since its parent context is wrong.        */
if(self->isMultiCall&& SRF_IS_FIRSTCALL())           Invocation_assertConnect();
 

The Invocation_assertConnect() performs an SPI_connect(). Sigh... 
Comments are dangerous :-)

Thanks for your help.

Kind Regards,
Thomas Hallgren
