 Hi Oskar,
 
 When I run this, I don't get a freeze. I get:
 
 $ gij Demo

 Looking closer, a NullPointerException is thrown from inside the
 "HelloWorld" initializer, in _Jv_ResolvePoolEntry.
 
 Basically, loading native code from interpreted code doesn't yet work.
 (In this case loading a native method implementation, but loading
 compiled java code using forName() from interpreted code doesn't work
 yet, either).
