 Discovered this problem while on a crusade to eliminate string eval usage
 in hot cocoa:

 Reduction:
 {{{
 a = Module.new

 a.send :define_method, :test do |value|
   puts 'first'
 end

 a.send :define_method, :something_else do |value|
   puts 'second'
 end
 }}}

 If you run the code, it will print 'first', but not second. If you then
 swap the order of the define_method calls and run it again, it will print
 'second', but will not print 'first'.
