Hi,

When Class.forName() is called with an array classname (e.g. "[LFoo;"), it
calls classloader.loadClass() with the same string, but this isn't correct.
It should instead load "Foo" and then call a VM native method that
constructs the array class.

Be careful, though. Class.forName("[LFoo;") is documented as NOT initializing Foo; does ClassLoader.loadClass() initialize Foo against our wishes?
