I seem to have lost my ability to run tests successfully directly on
WindowsXP. Even a clean check-out of the trunk head, without my
experimental changes, gets errors.
Meanwhile, I ran some tests under Ubuntu, and one qa.run test got a
NullPointerException in com/sun/jini/test/spec/eventmailbox/EMSRIFT_PULL2.td
A re-run of the qa.run test that first got the failure did not repeat
it. I have started repeatedly running the one test, and got one more
failure out of 568 runs, so far. I am continuing the repeated run to get
a more statistically significant estimate of the failure rate.
This is obviously going to be difficult to debug, or even to know if we
have fixed it after a change. The bug may have existed for a long time.

Both the head revision and revision 998737 need to be tested. Revision
998737 is the one I plan to merge into the trunk. It changes the
interface between TaskManager and its callers, with minimal changes to
TaskManager.
It is important that it be tested widely, because it affects a lot of
critical classes, and would be difficult to back out.
The head revision drops in a revised TaskManager. It should be easy to
back out if necessary.
