Tim I have started getting some test failures on the framework.   

I havent made any framework changes 

It looks as thought the transaction.delete(adesc) is simply not doing what it is supposed to in the first failure.

I actually dropped back to the 1.8-Dev build  and retested there as well as trunk and I am getting the same failures.  It may well be environment.  I am building against the 1.7 JDK still,  I have included a full test.log - if you can see an evironment setup error let me know.

environment

Windows 7

Java 7

MySQL 5.5.20

Maven 2

I uploaded the full test build log to
