I have noticed the same problem while doing some development using
Tomcat 3.2.[23]. I worked around it by making sure that I unset the
classpath before calling startup.sh, then things seemed to work properly
and classes were found as expected.
It seems that certain combinations of classes in different ares
(CLASSPATH, WEB-INF/lib, or other) will break things, but I haven't
pinned it down, so it could simply be user stupidity.
