This works for me.
You don't say how you compiled this. Did you link statically?
When I link statically it hangs (bummer), but YMMV, I guess.
It shouldn't be trying to load a .properties file. It should be
loading the .class file. Typically problems like this occur when
statically linking because it means that the class is not linked into
the executable. We don't have a very good solution for this yet :-(

You shouldn't need to do that in this case. It also shouldn't make a
difference, I think.
