Much better thanks :) But now I see how jarring the change to the SD 
code is. I don't think this logic really belongs in 
SystemDictionary::resolve_well_known_classes. This is a form of 
pre-initialization ... is it better suited for 
Threads::initialize_java_lang_classes perhaps?

I won't insist on this further change, but may take another look at this 
later.

Thanks,
David
