Repeatedly issuing a CREATE TABLE against a table that already exists causes 
Derby to soak up disk space
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: DERBY-4639
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-4639
             Project: Derby
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 10.5.3.0
            Reporter: David Van Couvering


Create a program that issues CREATE TABLE against an existing table every five 
seconds, ignoring the exception that the table already exists.  

Observe that the database directory starts growing by about 1 MB every minute.  
You can also see the number of .dat files growing in seg0 at a constant rate.

Workaround is to check to see if the table exists first before issuing the 
CREATE TABLE statement, but this is still a bug.
