<ant> task fails to pass properties properly for nested sub projects

           Summary: <ant> task fails to pass properties properly for nested
                    sub projects
           Product: Ant
           Version: 1.4.1
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Blocker
          Priority: Other
         Component: Core tasks
        AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
        ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]


I wrote three build files to simulate a 3 three levels of nesting:

build.xml (level 1):

<project name="test" basedir="." default="test">
  <property name="test_var" value="first"/>
  
  <target name="test">
  
    <ant dir="." antfile="subbuild.xml" target="test" inheritAll="true">
      <property name="test_var" value="second_set_from_first"/>
    </ant>
  
    <echo message="First Test Variable: ${test_var}"/>
  
  </target>
</project>


subbuild.xml (level 2):
<project name="test" basedir="." default="test">
  <property name="test_var" value="second"/>

  <target name="test">  
    <ant dir="." antfile="subsubbuild.xml" target="test" inheritAll="true">
      <property name="test_var" value="third_set_from_second"/>
    </ant>
  
    <echo message="Second Test Variable: ${test_var}"/>
  </target>
</project>


subsubbuild.xml (level 3):

<project name="test" basedir="." default="test">
  <target name="test">
    <property name="test_var" value="third"/>
  
    <echo message="Third Test Variable: ${test_var}"/>
  </target>
</project>

The expected results are as follows:

test:

test:

test:
     [echo] Third Test Variable: third_set_from_second
     [echo] Second Test Variable: second_set_from_first
     [echo] First Test Variable: first

With inheritAll=true in build.xml and subbuild.xml for the ant task, this is
what I get. I would also expect the same results with inheritAll=false, since
all this does is keep the parent project from automatically passing its
properties. The results I get are as follows:

test:

test:

test:
     [echo] Third Test Variable: second_set_from_first
     [echo] Second Test Variable: second_set_from_first
     [echo] First Test Variable: first

This doesn't appear to be correct. It seems like the test_var property set in
build.xml is getting passed to both subbuild.xml & subsubbuild.xml. This appears
to be a bug.
