Some tests failed.
If you installed the US-only J2RE for Windows, failures are expected and OK.
If you installed the international J2RE, or any J2SDK, or if this occurs on any platform other than Windows, please file a bug report.
Unfortunately, this test cannot determine whether you installed a US-only J2RE, an international J2RE, or a J2SDK.

According to error messages,
If you installed the US-only J2RE for Windows, failures are expected and OK.
If you installed the international J2RE, or any J2SDK, or if this occurs on any platform other than Windows, please file a bug report.

I installed the J2SDK 1.4.1 b18, not J2RE.

I confirmed that this fail is reproducible on Solaris sparc 8(euc), win2k, Redhat Linux 7.2.

This problem does not occur with J2SDK b17 on the same machine.

Steps to reproduce:
1) Install J2SDK 1.4.1 b18.
2) Get regression test case form
   /java/re/jdk/1.4.1/promoted/rc/b18/ws/j2se/test
3) Launch test/java/util/Locale/InternationalBAT.java

Then, you can see the problem.


Please see attached file for more detail of error.
