infinite recursion in FindClass

Name: laC46010 Date: 08/17/98



The following test fails on Solaris VM (1.2beta4-1.2fcsF)
with core dump:
Segmentation Fault (core dumped) if JIT is enabled.
If it is off, test hangs for indefinite period. In some
cases it also crashes to Segmentation Fault
while CTRL-C. is pressed. On Win32 this example
returns wrong status. The modified one leads to crash
(commented line in example).

Test example and VM diagnostics follow:
