No.. under the Java2 delegation model, the boot class loader
should be given the first chance to try and load *every* class.

Typically it will only find classes in glibj.zip (or rt.jar,
or whatever your VM equivalent of the core library is) because
that's all it knows to look in. So then the child classloader(s)
get to try.

In any case I'm still not clear on this problem. Yesterday it
looked to me like a result of delayed method resolution by kaffe.
But that could be completely off. I haven't actually witnessed
the problem so can't really say for sure without additional info.

It would be nice however to get to the bottom of it before 0.20...
