 State-Changed-Why:
     I reckon we should think of this as a feature and not a bug.
     Implementing class GC of native code via dlclose() would
     be very difficult and ugly, and of dubious benefit.
     
     We certainly want to implement GC of interpreted/JITted 
     classes however...
     
     what do you think, Tom?
