3.2.1 Dies

[Hunter Hillegas]

I am running a high traffic site with Tomcat 3.2.1/Sun JVM 1.3/Linux
2.4.4/Apache 1.3.19. After a few days of serving up the hits very well,
Tomcat just dies. It won't respond to shutdown requests and stops serving
pages, giving out only null pointer exceptions. Killing the java processes
manually and restarting Tomcat clears it up.

Anyone else seen this? Any idea how to work around it?
