Upon closer inspection, the initializer is getting run just fine. The problem is
that the static initializer inside DecimalFormat constructs a DecimalFormatSymbols,
which calls Resourcebundle.getBundle, which uses a URLClassLoader, which uses a
URLConnection, which contains a static initializer constructing SimpleDateFormat,
which calls NumberFormat.getInstance(), which (guess what!) trys to construct a
DecimalFormat. Oops.
