I did not discuss this in any Sun forum, but CTS tests are not 100%
correct. For example there are tests where they check if bit value was
represented by boolean or by "1" or "0", but then construct
java.lang.Boolean instance using string value from driver and then
testing whether it is true. Naturally, tests fail when bit value is
represented by "1" or "0" because new Boolean("1") gives "false"
anyway. I excluded such tests from the suite because they are supposed
to test BIT data type which is not supported by Firebird and exclusion
is legal in this case. We succeed in some cases where IC4 fails and
this cannot be considered as IC4 fault because exclusion would be
legal in that case too.

However, in few cases IC4 simply generated NullPointerException, and
this is definitely not good. :)
