Minor nit: in the test you took Mike's suggestion for the three 
conditions to check but seem to have overlooked the slightly different 
wording Mike used in the error messages and have associated the messages 
with different conditions ie "match" vs "equals"

Also wondering if we need to be concerned with closing the streams in 
case the test runs in samevm or agentvm ? Maybe use try-with-resources.

Thanks,
David
