I am intrigued by this feature; it would help with the debugging of a application. I tried to test it against tomcat but I get nothing on stderr (i.e., nothing in /var/log/messages, terminal, directory I am in, catalina.out, or any of the logs for Tomcat).
Could you expand on what behavior you see when you send the -3 to Tomcat's PID?
