[Bug libgcj/27294] gij throws NullPointerException, when the interpreter is not enabled

It isn't clear what exception we ought to throw here.

What is happening is that we've found a .class file for a class
we're searching for, but libgcj is not configured to properly
handle class files.

VirtualMachineError would be ok from a spec. point of view.
But it is a bit unfriendly.  This is what I'm leaning toward.

ClassFormatError would also be legal but it is a bit of a lie.
