sometimes if a BG merge hits an exception, optimize() will fail to forward the 
exception

                 Key: LUCENE-1376
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-1376
             Project: Lucene - Java
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Index
    Affects Versions: 2.3
            Reporter: Michael McCandless
            Assignee: Michael McCandless
            Priority: Trivial
             Fix For: 2.4
         Attachments: LUCENE-1376.patch

I was seeing an intermittant failure, only on a Windows instance running inside 
VMWare, of TestIndexWriter.testAddIndexOnDiskFull.

It is happening because the while loop that checks for merge exceptions that 
had occurred during optimize fails to catch the case where all the BG optimize 
merges completed (or hit exceptions) before the while loop begins.  IE, all BG 
threads finished before the FG thread advanced to the while loop.  In that case 
the code fails to check if there were any exceptions.

The fix is straightforward: change the while loop so that it always checks, at 
least once, whether there were exceptions.
