When constructing the ACL without passing the parent class loader, it has to set
the parent to null. I tried to set it to this.getClass().getClassLoader()  - cos
it seemed to make sense - but ran into constructor init sequence problems (since
the Object constructor hasn't run yet I think). I suppose later in the
constructor, it could have been set but only just thought of that ... ;o)  (can
do this since we're not using the JDK1.2 classloader, parent
attribute/constructor)

Best solution though is to pass the parent constructor on instantiation IMO.

Hi,

I think parent should be set - if it isn't we need to fix that.
