Thanks, Chris. My mistake was that I thought Class.getClassLoader() would
return the initiating class loader, not the defining class loader. Since
there does not seem to exist an easy way to find the initiating loader,
I'll simply omit the two offending tests.

I've tried to call ClassLoader.findLoadedClass on the initiating loader,
but it contrast to what Sun's Javadoc says, it returns null both on the
JDK 1.4.1 and on JamVM.

Yes, the test might be a bit complicated. But I wouldn't see how to make
it much easier -- since its purpose is to test the full functionality.
