Stefan, I used the downloaded code from the jakarta.apache.org website. In that download, the sources do _not_ import any System properties. Hence, the need for the patch.
Could the problem be that the downloadable source is out of sync with the cvs source? I will try a clean build from the cvs source today to see if the cvs sources contain such import behavior.
