No, it doesn't.   This case is that an agent has caused the 
initialization of java.lang.Thread before the JVM has completed 
initializations that it needs (like java.lang.String).  There's not much 
we can do but give a better error message.

I think I will rework my change so that we get an exception at this 
point (if possible) and this case has motivated that.

Thank you!
