Yes, I've seen similar problems. See:

http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/java/2003-11/msg00105.html

Ideally we should fix the underlying mutual-initializer-dependency 
problem which caused this code to be necessary, but moving the 
classloader initialization to after the main thread is attached might 
be a suitable workaround.
