The Scene is constructed with a state object of type soot.Singletons.Global.
IIRC you can reset this Global instance and then when you call Scene.v() you
will get a clean Scene instance. (Earlier versions used to have
Scene.v().reset() - I don't know why it was removed...

Hope that helps,

Thanks Eric for your answer. I am a little confused here. How can I access 
this specific instance of the Global class and how can I reset it? I did not 
see any methods in the Scene class or in the Global class to get this 
instance or to reset it.
