Found it <http://www.mail-archive.com/classpath%40gnu.org/msg02455.html>.

The funny thing is that I was just trying to remove insertGNUProperties()
from the static initializer of System and make it more like the libgcj
implementation which initializes the system properties lazily. But I
guess that the problem would still be there because System has to init
System.out and friends which require native support from the java.io package.

Tricky. And I still don't completely understand why it works now.
Runtime.load() still calls System.getSecurityManager() so the cyclic
dependency seems to be still there.

Cheers,

Mark
