Strange test failure when referencing a class in a deprivileged module

[Peter Firmstone]

Yes, I've come across this before, it will occur if you write a custom security manager or policy provider and either are in force before all their required classes have been loaded.

SM implementors also need to be careful of Permission checks that require another permission check, as these create recursive calls that can become infinite, but this won't occur in your simple test case.

Regards,

Peter.

Mystery solved or problem solved? Have you fixed it somewhere else? 

Thanks
