I think that there are two issues. One how Derby handles itself and attempts 
to clean up stale objects.

The second is that whoever wrote the test didn't know what they were doing.
So that question is: "Should Derby be smart enough to protect bad programmers 
from themselves?".

With respect to both issues, any solution will increase the footprint of 
Derby.  This may be a bad thing.

So the better question is... do you blame the hammer or the carpenter when he 
can't hit a nail straight in to the wood?
