The best (only, at least for now) solution is to set a very large
buffer size or somehow limit the amount of output your JSP page can
generate.

No, with "buffer=none" there's no buffering at all so you will
get the java.lang.IllegalStateException as soon as an attempt is
made to forward to the error page.

In Tomcat 3.2 (at least I believe it made it into Beta 8), the error
handling has been modified so that if a forward can not be made
(due to a committed response resulting in IllegalStateException),
the error message will be "included" instead. I'm not 100%, but I
believe this applies to custom error pages as well. It's not perfect,
but it's better than the current situation. Try out Beta 8 and see how
it works for you.
