This is pretty foul, since classFileParser.cpp assumes that _class_name
is in internal form, not external form.  There are lots of places where
it is compared with known class names using ‘/‘ instead of ‘.’ in the
package prefix.  Probably a bug in the caller, but I don’t want to chase
it now.  I’ll do something to make the CFP more robust, but we should
probably chase it down.  I’ll log a bug.
