Could you log this bug in Savannah so that we can keep track of it?  See the 
"pnet/HACKING" file for details on accessing Savannah.

The Java system is still a work in progress, and the class libraries is one of 
those things.  The IKVM classpath.dll won't work because of differences in 
how Java is mapped to IL constructs.  We are hoping to normalise against IKVM 
eventually.  If you'd like to help in this, that would be great.
