If the osgi tests (from org.eclipse.osgi.tests project) are compiled with the latest I-Build then verifier errors occur when you try to run the tests.  Here is the output to the console:

I reproduced this running the tests with the IBM 1.5 VM and Sun 1.4.2 VM.  Here are the steps to reproduce.

1) Open an empty workspace.  I use IBM 1.5 VM to launch the workspace but I'm not sure that matters
2) Check out the following projects from the eclipse CVS repo:

org.eclipse.core.tests.harness
org.eclipse.osgi.tests
org.eclipse.test.performance

3) Wait for the projects to finish building ...
4) Launch the osgi tests with the Junit plug-in test launcher
  Run->Run...->JUnit Plug-in Test->All OSGi Tests

Doing the same thing on the final 3.2 build succeeds without the verifier errors.
