    Description

      > class x implements y
      >
      > compile both, then remove y.class and run "java x"
      >
      > get message "Can't find class x"

      Even with -v -debug there is no indication that it is failing because
      it was unable to find y.class. The exception condition is being set
      down in Locked_ResolveClassConstant() (eventually called from
      ResolveInterfaces()). However since we are still in the initialization
      portion of the VM startup, we never return to any code that would attempt
      to catch the exception - we return the java_main() in javai.c, print the
      can't find class msg and quit.
