When I save .class files in a directory which
has a '#' in its name, the classloader doesn't
find the classes. This works with every java programm.
Here is a script of a CMD.EXE session. It shows
a java programm which runs perfect ... but when
you rename the directory the class file is stored
in to something containing a '#' the program stops
running. BTW: Classpath variable is not set, test class
is in the default package.
