To be fair (a) it works fine on Windows, which is probably the platform the committer(s) tested with and (b) it has only been one working day.

Actually, I ran derbyall with two unrelated failures on linux before committing. But I realize now what's happened.

We're a victim of a little strange subversion behaviour. Setting the svn:eol-style property on a file before committing it does *not* change the contents of the file in your local sandbox. So derbyall will run as before, regardless of the platform. 'svn diff' reports only a bunch of property changes on the files, but no actual content diffs.

Now, when the patch is *committed*, suddenly all the files' content changes. Thus, these failures were not caught before committing, but after. I'm sorry about the consequences for you all, and I'll go ahead and try to fix the issues.
