Another thread about this is
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/java/2003-11/msg00130.html which might have some
nice background info for you as bootstrap expert of JRVM. (Note that in
that thread the actual bug was something else, but the discussion should
explain a bit more what was happening.) If I remember correctly we
"fixed" this for 3.4 (CVS) by making the bootstrap classloader less
"eager" (it doesn't try to open and/or resolve anything from zip files
during bootstrap loader initialization.) And since Ranjit got it a bit
further I suspect that he is using gij from CVS.

Cheers,

Mark
