Summary:  classpath0.08: java.lang.Runtime.loadLibrary : causes 
UnsatisfiedLinkException when VM is intializing

Original Submission:  Hi,
While dealing with JAMVM I came across an exceptions related problem with 
java.lang.Runtime.loadLibrary.

Issue is that when scanning java.library.path dirs to find the required lib 
"loadLibrary" uses "load". In its turn "load" raise exeception if lib is not 
find.

In case of JAMVM when this exeception hapens during intialization it aborts VM. 
Because of that LD_LIBRARY_PATH is not scanned completely and lib is not 
located at all.

This also could be attributed to JAMVM specifics and probably it is true. Yet, 
I can understand also that VM exception handling may not be that "accurate" 
during VM build-up therefore I'd see it as Classpath issue as well.

Attached is a patch against Runtime.java which overcomes the problem by doing 
exactly what "load" does but without mentioned exception problem.

See sf.net/projects/jamvm:Forums-Help where this issues has been raised too.
