I think I'm getting it narrowed down a bit.  It seems that when 
ChildrenConfigurationClassLoader.getResource(name) is called it never 
actually resulting in invoking MultiParentClassLoader.getResource(name) 
(at least not in this case).

The MPCL should have been passed in when the CCCL was constructed. 
CCCL.getResource calls super.getResource (super being SecureClassLoader) 
which should ultimately result in MPCL.getResource being invoked - but 
that doesn't seem to be happening.  Perhaps we should update 
CCCL.getResource to directly invoke MPCL.getResource rather than 
super.getResource?

I guess the other possibility is that the parent isn't what I think it 
should be ... still investigating.
