Nice!

What platform are you on? And what version of gcj?
All I can think of is that class registration could be failing. `new
Name' would continue to work, since this is emitted as a direct
reference to Name.class and handled by the linker -- but reflection
wouldn't be able to find the class.
That's just a guess though. You'd have to do some debugging to find
out for real.
