If we no longer run the processClass method at the end of
java_lang_ClassLoader_findSystemClass0 then we do away with the verifier
re-entry (possible not for all apps but certinaly for such shings as
InstallSield). Now the question is - is this legal? I've checked the
docs on this and it's decidedly unhelpful as to whether findSystemClass
should run the classes clinit method (it says the class is loaded and
linked but that doesn't mean clinit is called does it?).

Anyway, if you make this simple change InstallShield works fine - I've
not committed it yet though until people say what they think.

Cheers
Tim
