I agree that both of those packages should be protected.
Why they are not included?  org.apache.coyote is most likely missing
because it is a relatively new package.  org.apache.util may just have
been missed.

The code below is in both startup/Catalina.java and startup/CatalinaService.java

I will go ahead and patch this in Tomcat 4 HEAD.

Regards,

Glenn
