Is this intentionally not throwing the exception? Well, then it
still would be discarded (althrough not neccesarily silently :)).
BTW, I don't think System.err is a good idea.
It is `statically initialized'? I think then this means it is
unclear who the caller is and who could catch this exception.
Wouldn't it be better to store the exception in a member and
throw it when needing Zystem (e.g. in new or open)?
oki,
