Hi Alan,
The J9 tests are run against build "images".
Cheers

Can you say if the J9 failure was with an exploded build or an images 
build? Just asking as suggest we could trigger this with an exploded 
build during startup with the right test. If it's too much work then no 
problem, I agree with Roger that the issue is obvious.
