The JCK tests
api/java_lang/String/multimapping.html#CaseMapping[String2301]
api/java_lang/String/multimapping.html#CaseMapping[String2304]
fail on jdk1.4.0beta-b84.

The additional file of Unicode specification SpecialCasing-2.txt contains
the special letters which do not follow the main table of letter
conversion. One of this letter is \u03A3. The entry for this letter is
# Special case for final form of sigma

03A3; 03C2; 03A3; 03A3; FINAL; # GREEK CAPITAL LETTER SIGMA

It contains the condition FINAL. The head of this file explains:
# A condition list overrides the normal behavior if any of the listed conditions is true.
# FINAL: The letter is not followed by a letter of category L* (e.g. Ll, Lt, Lu, Lm, or Lo).

But it seems, the JDK implementation does not take into account this condition.
To reproduce this failure the simple test can be used:

public class A {
    public static void main(String[] argv) {
        String checkedString = "\u03A30";
        String ExpectedLowerString = "\u03C20";
        if(!checkedString.toLowerCase().equals(ExpectedLowerString))
            System.out.println("Incorrect lowercase");
        else
            System.out.println("ok");
    }
}
