Hm.  This fails, with or without the patch:
   clas = Class.forName(cname);
This works:
   clas = Class.forName(cname, true, getClass().getClassLoader());

This is with make all && make install in the libjav directory.
I'm doing a 'cvs update' and rebuild from a clean tree in case the
problem is an artifact of the way I just rebuilt part of the tree.

BTW, I've always though we should have the compiler rewrite:
   Class.forName(NAME)
to:
   Class.forName(NAME, true, getClass().getClassLoader())
to avoid the fragility and ugliness and performance lossage
of doing the stack trace ...
