------------------------------
    Attachment: AVRO-1620.patch

Attaching my attempt to fix the issue. Due to the nature of working with multiple classloaders, the test is fairly complicated. I would welcome any suggestions to make it simpler.

> Similar to the situation described in AVRO-1240, a parent classloader contains the avro classes and a separate classloader contains the avro specific record classes. When using the generated 
> {code}
> newBuilder(SpecificRecord other)
> {code}
> or 
> {code}
> newBuilder(SpecificRecord.Builder other)
> {code}
> methods to duplicate records, the generated code will cause an exception similar to this:
> {noformat}
> Caused by: java.lang.ClassCastException: org.apache.avro.generic.GenericData$Record cannot be cast to my.specific.Record
> 	at my.specific.Record$Builder.<init>(Record.java:149)
> 	at my.specific.Record$Builder.<init>(Record.java:121)
> 	at my.specific.Record.newBuilder(Record.java:115)
> 	... 19 more
> {noformat}
