I remember adding this to fix a bug (perhaps a false memory, since the
ChangeLog says Andrew did it :-), but I don't remember exactly what it
was. Something about Class.forName requiring URL which required
Class.forName, resulting in a crash.
I did some digging but it wasn't very helpful... this change came in
via a jumbo patch back in the day:
