Tcat 4.0.1 : Is the 403 error-page handler broken?

[Bragg, Casey]

Hello all... 

Since upgrading to Tomcat 4.0.1, I've had the following problem with my 403
error-page (I think I remember this working fine in beta 6).

Here's my error page descriptor in my webapp's web.xml : 
   <error-page>
      <error-code>403</error-code>
      <location>/security/status/forbidden.jsp</location>
   </error-page>

   <error-page>
      <error-code>404</error-code>
      <location>/security/status/notfound.jsp</location>
   </error-page>

The 404 page works great.  But when I get a forbidden (403) I get the
following : 

2001-11-20 10:58:34 HttpProcessor[8089][1] process.invoke

        at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:484)

Tomcat transforms this into an Error 500 at the client.

This error occurs even if forbidden.jsp is void of any jsp code (html only).

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance!!!
