OK, building from source of the 1.2 branch and applying the patch as
suggested seems to work fine.
Thanks for the suggestion.
The critical thing for me now is to ensure that databases created with
this patched version can be upgraded when a new version of derby (e.g.
10.3) comes along.
I tried opening a database created with this patched version of 10.2
with a version built form trunk, and I get this error:
Unsupported upgrade from '10.2' to '10.3 beta'.
Is this a problems with the 10.2, or the 10.3 beta?
If its with 10.2 how do I make sure the database files can be upgraded?
Many thanks

I tried downloading the source distributions from
http://db.apache.org/derby/releases/release-10.2.1.6.cgi
Specifically I downloaded both the ".zip" and ".tar.gz" versions
of the source distributions.
When I unpacked these distributions, in both cases I got extracted
files which had "DOS" style line-end characters.
Is this expected? I had anticipated that the .zip file would have
DOS style line end characters, but the .tar.gz file would have
Unix style line end characters.
Can anybody reproduce my results?
thanks,
