Hi,

while investigating the history of Bug 17883 (I thought that the stuff
hadn't worked in 1.4.1 either, I was wrong) I realized that this build
file

<project default="seq">
  <target name="seq">
    <sequential>
      <property name="foo" value="bar"/>
      <echo>${foo}</echo>
    </sequential>
  </target>
</project>

will print

seq:
     [echo] ${foo}

BUILD SUCCESSFUL

with CVS HEAD.

You get bar instead of ${foo} with Ant 1.4 up to 1.5.2 (or HEAD of the
1.5 branch for that matter).

I could commit a testcase to proof this, but wanted to state the
problem here before we get the same Gump test failure mail for weeks.

Stefan
