Hi
I've developed two "impossible" tests, which shows "fake" circularity errors. One test is more simple and use SecurityManager. The other is a bit more complex and uses custom ClassLoader. You can find them in attachment.
Thanks.

The scenario I described earlier is impossible. Resolution of any class
referenced in some other class is performed by class loader, which loaded
that other class. So, no chance to load "A" and referencing class loader
(UCL) with this UCL.
Sorry for confusion.
Regards,
Pavel.
P.S. Still there are concerns why lazy resolution should be supported by
JITs. But it is absolutely another story.
