I the 1.1b on Win2K, and tried to run java/test/src/org.apache.xindice.IntegrationEmbedTests.java
All 34 test cases were succeed. I noticed that the master test suite calls CollectionTest.java, which creates and drops collections. However, after above the unit test, I wrote some code to exam all collections and found the db/system/SysSymbols is not empty (as below). I would assume that after dropping a collection, all those symbols associated with the collection should be dropped too. Did I miss anything here?
