Roger, We see a similar problem with the latest IBM JDK 1.3.1 for OS/2. We have assumed that it is a JDK problem because a version of the JDK just 1 month older does not produce this problem. We had been programming on Tomcat since December, 2001 and the problem first appeared a month ago when we got a "fix" from IBM.
We have never seen the problem on Sun's JDK for Linux. We would like to report the problem to IBM since it only occurs on the IBM JDK; however, this is no longer possible for us under OIS/2. So, try using a different vendor's JDK to see if that solves your problem. If it is an IBM JDK problem, then perhaps you can report it as a problem under Windows which I am sure gets more attention than OS/2.
