getRealPath is broken since Tomcat 4.0.4, worked in Tomcat 4.0.3

           Summary: getRealPath is broken since Tomcat 4.0.4, worked in
                    Tomcat 4.0.3
           Product: Tomcat 4
           Version: 4.0.4 Final
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows NT/2K
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Critical
          Priority: Other
         Component: Catalina
        AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
        ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]


Suppose you have a specified a context in server.xml like this:
...
<Context path="" docBase="D:\wwwroot" debug="0" crossContext="true" />
<Context path="/images" docBase="D:\images" debug="0" crossContext="true" />
...
If you run the following code inside a JSP file:
<%
    ServletContext context = application.getContext("/images/");
    out.println(context.getRealPath("/foo.jpg"));
%>
Tomcat 4.0.3 correctly returned:
D:\images\foo.jpg

But Tomcat 4.0.4 does now return: 
D:\wwwroot\foo.jpg
