In some cases compiler sorts its error messages differently
for the same source files. It seems it may depends on
some external reasons such as CLASSPATH value for example.

Such undeterministic behaviour of the compiler prevents
its testing using "golden" files.

A log below shows that an error message for "clss00403_a.java"
is reported first in order when CLASSPATH si not set and
as second when CLASSPATH is set.

The same undeterministic behaviour can be seen also running
other JCK's test case: "intf00403".
