Bug description ---> java.exe does not work under Windows 95 with a message
"Error loading: jvm.dll".

It seems what the reason of failure is kernel's InterlockedCompareExchange function,
which is used by jvm.dll (both hotspot\jvm.dll and server\jvm.dll) and which is not supported in Windows 95.

MSDN says:
InterlockedCompareExchange:
...
Requirements
  Windows NT/2000: Requires Windows NT 4.0 or later.
  Windows 95/98: Requires Windows 98 or later.


This bug occurs in merlin-beta, build 57, 58, 59.
