couldn't this be done in System.setSecurityManager rather than in a 
static block
in SecurityManager?

The provided EarlyLoad test still pass with this approach, and this 
would avoid loading a few
classes and a resource bundle when not installing a security manager 
(the SecurityManager
class is always loaded on bootstrap).
