--------------------------------------
The test failure looks unrelated.
> XTestCase.delete() can cause tests to fail if it runs into a dangling symlink

> Java 6 doesn't handle symlinks very well; as a result, if you have a dangling
> symlink (a symlink who's target has been deleted), Java's {{File.exists()}}
> method returns false on the symlink file. So, when {{XTestCase.delete()}} is
> trying to delete a directory, it first has to empty the directory, but the
> current implementation skips any dangling symlinks because it checks
> {{exists()}} on each file in the directory; later it will fail when trying to
> delete the directory itself because its not empty.
