Dynamic class loading questions

Hi,

I posted this question in January, and haven't seen a
response, and none in the archive, so here's another
try...This is definitely a question for the dalsemi 
guys.

Thanks,

Hello all,

Apologies if this is old ground, but I do not find an
answer in the archives or the distribution.

Based on a small experiment, it appears to me that
a static initializer in a dynamically loaded class does
not get executed.  (I am using 1.12, on a 400)

In Limitations.txt I see a discussion of static initializers
being handled slightly differently, but no mention of
them with regard to dynamic class loading.

Is this the expected behavior?

Thanks!

public class dyn{

    public static void main(String args[])
	throws ClassNotFoundException{
	System.out.println("Loading dynoaded");
	Class c = Class.forName("dynloaded");
	System.out.println("Loaded dynloaded, creating instance");

	try{
	    c.newInstance();
	    System.out.println("done");
	}catch(Exception e){
	    System.out.println("error instantiating" + e);
	}
    }

    static{
	System.out.println("Hello from static initializer for dyn");
    }
}

public class dynloaded{

    public int instancevar = 0;

    public dynloaded(){
	System.out.println("Default constructor for class dynloaded");
    }

    static{
    	System.out.println("hello from static initializer inside dynloaded");
    }
}

Output running dyn on PC:

Hello from static initializer for dyn
Loading dynoaded
hello from static initializer inside dynloaded
Loaded dynloaded, creating instance
Default constructor for class dynloaded
done

On TINI:

Hello from static initializer for dyn
Loading dynoaded
Loaded dynloaded, creating instance
Default constructor for class dynloaded
done
