We performed computer experiments on 13 different initial configurations of one-dimensional self-gravitating systems. The three most and the three least violently relaxed systems were compared with the predictions of Lynden-Bell's statistical mechanics. The agreement between the experimental results and the theoretical predictions became worse as the relaxation became more violent. While all six systems were theoretically nondegenerate, the violent systems invariably flung out a halo that took most of the energy, leaving behind a low-energy degenerate core.
