Hi All,
We updated Tomcat5 and a kernel on a server and rebooted, at which point tomcat
refused to work correctly.
Catalina.out showed this.

Moving the webapps out the way in case of a code issue and restarting provided
the same result.
Downgrading to tomcat5 - 5.5.23-0jpp.7.el5_3.2.i386 and restarting tomcat
restored service, but it looks like a problem with that release fo me at least.
Any ideas on how to fix? I've not seen any other complaints re this so I don't
think it is widespread.
I have a case open with RedHat but it is progressing slowly :(
Kind regards
Alasdair
