Summary:
When running a java application with the options
`-javaagent:myagent.jar -Djava.system.classloader=MyClassLoader`
then the myagent.jar is added to the application class loader rather
than the custom system class loader.
I'm confused, the "system" class loader is the "application" class
loader.
You can configure a system property to run with a custom system class
loader (details in the ClassLoader javadoc). It's rarely used which is
why this bug has been around for so long and nobody noticed. When you do
run with a custom system class loader then it means you startup with 4
class loaders (system, application, platform, boot).
