I actually like the current approach that BootNativeLibrary::findClass 
to return null if class not found.  In fact this was my initial version 
until I realized FindClass throws NCDFE as well.  I don't find the 
native code complicated.

This test is a othervm test and so OOME should be very unlikely.

I will push as is.
