Should have also mentioned I'm using Ant 1.6.5 with JDK 1.4.2_10

error after using <ant> task within ant
I have a situation where I have a common core build.xml for many users,
with an optional junit-setup.xml build file called by ant if the user
sets a particular property, junit.setup.required.
The junit-setup file is a standard file of the ant build.xml format, and
contains two empty, predefined targets called "post", and "pre"
If the user sets the junit.setup.required property in their properties
file, then ant will call the junit-setup build file and run the "pre"
target, then return control to the core build.xml and run junit, before
jumping back out to the junit-setup.xml and running the "post" target.
Now when I remove the junit.setup.required, the junit tasks run. When I
turn the property on, Ant runs, jumps out to the junit-setup.xml file
and runs the "pre" target, but when it returns to carry out the junit
task, I get the following error:

I neither understand the error nor why it's happening. I know the junit
properties and classpath are correctly set, as they work when I don't
jump to the external file.
I'm guessing it's a bug in Ant?
