Description

Our hack to determine whether we should automatically delegate to the parent class loader in certain cases when a class is not found has a bug. It tries to do filter calls to Bundle.loadClass(), but does so incorrectly. It uses Class.isInstance() when it should be using Class.isAssignableFrom().
