I haven't touched any of the properties...though ANT 1.5.1(latest release) may alter the default environment.

Making the change you propose would destroy the ability to have commons-digester.jar in a parent class loader, but still be able to load classes from the child class loader (i.e. for Tomcat, put commons-digester.jar in common/lib and try to load object classes from your webapp. What property settings are you using for the "classLoader" and "useContextClassLoader" properties?
