I think we should move this issue to security-libs and have this issue 
addressed in the PolicyFile/PolicyParser code.

My concern with catching Throwable is that it's just going to make it 
harder to diagnose tricky issues like this. I would be interested in 
other possible cases where you think the ClassCircularityError might 
happen. I'm just wondering if we need to approach this issue a bit 
differently.
