Minor Description
I sometimes see the deadlockMode test fail with this error:
There was 1 failure:
1) deadlockMode(org.apache.derbyTesting.functionTests.tests.lang.LangHarnessJavaTest)junit.framework.ComparisonFailure: Output at line 18 expected:<[Starting t]hread> but was:<[Done T]hread>

Similar failures have also been seen in the nightly testing, for instance <URL:http://dbtg.thresher.com/derby/test/trunk15/jvm1.5/testing/testlog/Linux-2.6.17-1.2174_FC5_i686-i686/484695-derbyall_diff.txt>.
It looks like a timing issue between the threads in the test. The test starts 20 threads, and each thread prints "Starting thread" when it starts and "Done Thread" when it ends. If a thread finishes before all threads have started, the lines in the output are mixed, and the test fails.
