I've been meaning to look at the Tomcat 5 series for awhile; I'll take a 
look and see if anything jumps out.  Tomcat 5.x is currently in Alpha; 
it is an implementation of the as-yet-to-be-finalized Servlet 2.4/JSP 
2.0 specifications, and is a fairly large scale refactoring of the 4.x 
series.  My initial thoughts would be that this is probably an issue on 
their side of the fence, but still kind of strange that it causes this 
behavior.
