A testcase is attached with the bug. Compile and run the test and you
will see that it gets a npe. Doing a truss on this (on SOlaris) you will notice
that file descriptors are leaked. I think sun.awt.FileImageSource leaks
the fds but I am not sure. This is a severe bug
because things fail mysteriously (once the fds run out, class loading
fails as well).
