Hmmm. I reran the tests (same sources, with r1866425-rework-patch
applied). This time all the tests passed, including autoprop_tests.py
#7 for svnserve x bdb.

Both times, I ran everything under a ramdrive, which is mounted with
rw,relatime:

$ cat /proc/mounts | grep ramdrive
/dev/sdb1 /home/nate/ramdrive ext4 rw,relatime 0 0

(If you're wondering about /dev/sdb1, it appears to be a regular disk,
not a ramdrive, because this is a virtual machine and the ramdrive is
a disk image in RAM on the host. This allows it to persist through
reboots of the guest, moved to other guests, etc).

I don't know why the test failed before. Could be timing or something
else happening on the computer? As I continue experimenting, we'll see
if it fails again... I'll keep everyone posted.

Also, I'll try the default-jdk-headless and junit4 packages and let
you know how that works out...

Thanks for your help...
Nathan
