Yes. I implemented the current behavior in response to bug #9466
(http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=9466) which is
still open since we seem to agree that using the context classloader
would be the more correct option (falling back to the system/application
classloader when that fails). See the bug report for some more
discussion about this issue.
