Tim,

I dont normally bother with testing errors too much, but these cropped up in the last few iterations on my dev machine, and while I can still compile and run ok, I am wondering if its caused by some merging that I performed.

Edit: the one thing that might be causing this is the sure-fire config

you use <forkMode>always</forkMode> which has been depreceated I updated my build to use 

                    <forkCount>1</forkCount>
                    <reuseForks>false</reuseForks>

which I believe is the new way of declaring test forking depending on test box cpu configs

anyway I am rerunning with the old method.
