    Description

      Since Felix 1.4.0, each method invocation is now check in the class SecureAction. When we DON'T set the security manager as argument of the command line and a started bundle tries to set this one, we always get an infinite loop:

      at java.net.URL.<init>(URL.java:413)
      at sun.security.provider.PolicyFile$3.run(PolicyFile.java:676)
      at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method)
      at sun.security.provider.PolicyFile.initStaticPolicy(PolicyFile.java:617)
      at sun.security.provider.PolicyFile.<init>(PolicyFile.java:314)

      at org.apache.felix.framework.URLHandlersStreamHandlerProxy.parseURL(URLHandlersStreamHandlerProxy.java:267)
      at java.net.URL.<init>(URL.java:596)
      at java.net.URL.<init>(URL.java:464)
      at java.net.URL.<init>(URL.java:413)
      at sun.security.provider.PolicyFile$3.run(PolicyFile.java:676)

      ... until a stack overflow.

      To reproduce it, just start the attached bundle that does:

      System.setSecurityManager(new RMISecurityManager());
      URL wantBug = new URL("http://felix.apache.org");
      System.out.println("I want a bug: " + wantBug.toExternalForm());

      If the security manager is set in the command line, there is no bug.
