WebAppClassLoader tries to load class from system classloader twice

Just have been reading WebAppClassLoader.java for self-education,
and it seems that every 
class not found in the system ClassLoader
is being attempted to be loaded from it twice (some 
code has been
removed):

        // (0.2)
            clazz = system.loadClass(name);
            if (clazz != null) 
{
                return (clazz);
            }
        // (1)
        
            ClassLoader loader = parent;
            if (loader == null)
                loader 
= system;
            try {
                clazz = loader.loadClass(name);
