[cp-patches] Patch: FYI: MainThread -vs- class loader

[Tom Tromey]

I'm checking this in.
I'm going to put something similar in libgcj shortly.

While implementing java.endorsed.dirs, I discovered that MainThread
tries to load the main class using its own class loader.  However, it
is probable that MainThread is loaded by the bootstrap loader, while
it needs to load the main class using the system class loader.

This patch fixes the problem.
