A recent change [1] in jdk7 has caused this, specifically the string literals
(NULL_CAUSE_MESSAGE, ...) in java.lang.Throwable. Apparently, this doesn't sit well with
the initialization order in CACAO, resulting in a SIGSEGV.

Unfortunately, that's not the only problem. There is a new function
JVM_FindClassFromBootLoader and it's not obvious what to do with it.

Crap, the JVM_FindClassFromBootLoader is bug #137 actually.
