I assume you mean getServletConfig() and not getConfig().
When I run the test with
String forwardURL = ("/WibbleWobble.jsp");
RequestDispatcher dispatcher =
getServletConfig().getServletContext().getRequestDispatcher( forwardURL );
dispatcher.forward(request, response );
I get the same error.
Is there no way around this using Tomcat 3.2 and I thus need to wait until a
patch fix

getConfig() is inherited from GenericServlet. If your class extends
HttpServlet, then it extends GenericServlet ...
