I couldn't get the test to run with the latter but noticed that most 
tests that are run with testng use the 'java.security.policy' option. It 
works as expected.

That's right, any I actually wasn't aware of the '==' option. According 
to [1], ‘==’ sets a *sole* policy file, whereas ‘=’ sets an *additional* 
file. So we want to go with ‘=’.
