Description

Hello, I was bumping the Gentoo version of commons-CLI to 1.2 and in the process tried to run the tests. It fails at this test:

Note that the others tests before run fine. Note that when using Maven all the tests run fine but only because the problematic test is NOT run. Does that means that it should not be run? (I used mvn ant:ant to generate an Ant buildfile as Gentoo packaging system does not support Maven yet).
