testProperties and sysinfo_withproperties test failures with ibm 1.6 on 10.3
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: DERBY-4536
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-4536
             Project: Derby
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Test
    Affects Versions: 10.4.2.0, 10.3.3.0
         Environment: windows XP, IBM 1.6 SR7
            Reporter: Myrna van Lunteren


In the IBM nightly test runs there's a failure in two tests with IBM 1.6, e.g. 
in 
http://people.apache.org/~myrnavl/derby_test_results/v10_3/linux/testlog/ibm16/904714-derbyall_diff.txt:
derbyall failures *************************************************************
derbyall/derbynetclientmats/derbynetmats.fail:derbynet/sysinfo_withproperties.java
derbyall/derbynetclientmats/derbynetmats.fail:derbynet/testProperties.java

I'll attach the test output in a file.

The only difference between earlier runs is that this is with IBM 1.6 SR7 
whereas before this was run with IBM 1.6 SR6. The windows run showed no 
problems, but is still at IBM 1.6 SR6.

We ran into a similar situation with trunk, backported to 10.5, with the junit 
tests ServerPropertiesTest and SysinfoTest. I reopened DERBY-858 and adjusted 
the non-deterministic aspects of these tests.

Apparently, the hash table ordering changed between IBM 1.6 SR6 and IBM 1.6 
SR7, but the ordering isn't guaranteed.

I think the right thing to do here is to backport the conversions to junit of 
these tests, and then backport the changes for DERBY-858. Possibly other junit 
framework changes also need to get backported to support that.

I also think the same problem will manifest for 10.4.
