[kaffe] ClassLoader isn't working like I expected

[Dalibor Topic]

Hi Tom,

thanks for the bug report. The problem comes from kaffe's ClassLoader
implementation. It uses the bootstrap class loader to load t, so it returns
null as it's ClassLoader. Bang.

Unfortunately, I don't think there is an easy fix. I've played with improving
kaffe's class loading before with only limited success so far. I'm putting some
hope in Helmer's next bootstrap/application class loader separation patch.

cheers,
