just so we are working on the same case, when you run is there
also 0 rows in all the tables?

Thanks for all the help and good suggestions so far -- they have given
me a lot of ideas to pursue.

I think that Mike's theory about the source of the non-determinism
being due to whether I recreate the tables each time, or re-use the
existing tables, is a good one, and I'll see if I can confirm it
with more tests of my own.

Meanwhile, I'll also investigate the other pointers you passed along.

Regarding the comment that the DERBY-2130 test case is a hairy one,
and it would be easier to start with a simpler one, I agree. On the
other hand, the appeal of the DERBY-2130 test case is that:
a) it is complicated enough to vividly show that there is a problem
b) it is still pruned down enough so that it runs; some of my other
test cases ran for hours and "never" terminated :)

Again, thanks for all the help and ideas; they are much appreciated.
