    Description

      The system currently recursively calls xact.notifyObservers() from DropOnCommit.update(). It does this because in some cases
      new observers can be added while processing the list of notifyObservers and those were being missed before the change, causing
      Assertions in the tests and possibly files not properly dropped on commit.

      Multiple users on the Derby user list have had failures running SYSCS_UTIL.SYSCS_COMPRESS_TABLE(), running out of stack track
      with a heavily recursive stack trace of the form (see more detail from these reports in subsequent comments):
