Toolkit's getImage() is caching the image

I have a bug that seems to be due to Toolkit's getImage() method caching the image. I have the following line of code:

image = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getImage(new URL(url));

If my program later changes the image file stored at the URL, the next time this is called it returns the original image, not the new one. I don't know if this happens on other platforms as well. Unfortunately since the getImage() method is handled by native code, I can't check to see if the code really does caching.

Thoughts?
