ANALYSIS: The problem lies with the sed
functionality in the test harness, which delete certain lines before
comparing with the master file.

Sed.java in the harness removes lines containing derby/ in the path,
viz:

deleteLines.addElement("^.derby/.\\<.\\>\\(.
).*$");
deleteLines.addElement("^.derby/.\\(.
).$");

so if your tests are running in a directory containing this pattern, a
line too much is deleted from dblook_test.tmp, thereby giving a
comparison failure like you describe.

I don't know the reason for this deletion yet, so I can't say how to
fix it, but the work-around is obvious: Run test in a directory whose
name does not contain this pattern
