Cindy, I had a similar problem with shutting down tomcat. I was running 4.0.3 on an HPUX system with the 1.3 JDK. I updated to the 1.3.1 JDK and the problem seemed to clear up.

When I shut tomcat down (using shutdown.sh) there are about a dozen threads that don't go away. Tomcat is definately not running (at least it's not accepting requests), but the threads are still there. I'm not seeing any errors, but I'm not sure where to look. I've done some web searches of the archives and haven't found anything, but I'm hoping that someone will recognize this problem and point me in the right direction. Thanks!!
