Sorry -- the patch had two parts. One part was a bug fix; I checked
it in.
The other part changed the name of classpath.security. I'd prefer to
have it search both <current-vm>.security and classpath.security.
That allows for VM-specific security providers. As AG points out,
there might be a CNI-based shared library provider. Putting that in
classpath.security might confuse other VMs using Classpath.
