I wrote a similar but different patch yesterday... I couldn't reproduce this, though, so I was going to ask you to test it.


Wel,, I must admit I don't have a handy test-case any more, since
I changed Kawa to not trigger the problem - the Class.forName that
indirectly caused the problem was unintentional anyway.  If it's
important I can jigger up a testcase by grabbing an older version
of Kawa, but that still wouldn't be suitable for libjava or Mauve.
A standalone test-case could perhaps be created doing
Class.forName(name, false, loader) and then System.gc(), but I'm
not sure.  I'd rather not spend the time on this.
