Hi Joern,

Only the name of the class is available in StackTraceElement, not the actual 
class.  The Class.forName(String className) method is not guaranteed to get the 
correct results, especially if the class in question can be found in multiple 
classloaders. Sun's internal API is used to determine with *certainty* the class 
which corresponds to the class in the stack frame.
