odd behavior of authorization id on the SYS schema

[Rick Hillegas]

I am seeing the following odd behavior:

o When I run ij standalone, turning on authorization and authentication, 
and look inside the schema descriptor for SYSTABLES, I see that the 
authorization id is what I expect: It is the name of the user who 
created the database. This is also what is stored in the tuple for SYS 
in SYSSCHEMAS

o But when I run an experiment inside a test case in the 
GrantRevokeDDLTest junit test, although the SYS tuple in SYSSCHEMAS is 
correct, there is a null authorization id in the schema descriptor for 
SYSTABLES.

Does this jog anyone's memory? Any theories about what is different 
about out test environment?

Thanks,
-Rick
