It appears that DistributedRestoreSystemPropertiesTest is intermittently failing and breaking the build.
My initial analysis shows that the use of *categories* results in *all* test classes being instantiated and some of those instantiations end up launching DUnit VMs as a result of static or parameterized declarations. This results in a false/positive situation causing DistributedRestoreSystemPropertiesTest to fail intermittently. I think I've pinpointed the classes causing the situation and listed them in the Jira. https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GEODE-4885. For now I've disabled the test to get builds going again. --Jens
