[Xmlunit-general] Diff.similar() seems to cause thread to exit 50%+ of the time

[Bill R. <bil...@xo...>]

I'm using XMLUnit 1.5/Java.

More often than not, the println below fails and the (testing) test ends with success without any more code being run:

            actualText = "<msg><uuid>0x00435A8C</uuid></msg>";             // debug
            expectedXmlString = "<msg><uuid>0x00435A8C</uuid></msg>";               // debug

                Diff myDiff = new Diff(XMLUnit.buildTestDocument(expectedXmlString), XMLUnit.buildTestDocument(actualText));
                myDiff.overrideElementQualifier(new RecursiveElementNameAndTextQualifier());
                if(differenceListener != null){
                    myDiff.overrideDifferenceListener(differenceListener);
                }
                System.out.println("@@@ similar: " + myDiff.similar());

If I slow it down in the debugger, it is more likely to succeed.
Same behavior without the DifferenceListener.

Any ideas? Same was seen in 1.3, upgrade didn't help.

Thanks,
Bill
