How do you know static content is OK and not just being served from your browser cache? Clear your browser cache between static content requests to check this. >You would think that I could just stop Tomcat with the >$CATALINA_HOME/bin/shutdown.sh script, but that doesn't seem to do anything >at all. Generally I have to 'kill' the pid to get Tomcat to stop, Most likely you have non-daemon threads started up by web applications. >My best guess is that I've got a servlet/JSP out there that is doing >something very bad. However, I've examined the JVM with a profiler and A profiler won't tell you much here. It's much more likely to be bad code than a memory-hogging or CPU-hogging problem. >Naturally, I can find nothing useful in the $CATALINA_HOME/logs directory, Turn on debug="99" in server.xml (wherever you see debug="0").

If we can't solve the problem The server can't always rescue you from malicious applications. Are you running with a security manager? Actually I was going to ask this at the beginning: is this happening even when only the tomcat webapps (admin, manager, docs, examples) are installed? Is it one of your webapps causing this behavior or one of tomcat's?
