This looks good. A small typo in ensureAccessAvailable, "ntil" -> 
"until". Also the continue isn't needed.

On the finalizer thread now waiting for the system classes to be 
initialized then this is probably a good thing (although I can imagine 
subtle changes for corner cases, say where an agent is playing with fire 
and instrumenting classes early in the startup).
