Public bug reported:

In Ubuntu Gutsy 7.10, tomcat 5.5 has a little bug in the startup script
(/etc/init.d/tomcat5.5) that prevents Tomcat from starting again when a
web application has created a subdirectory in the temp directory
(located at /var/lib/tomcat5.5/temp).

To me this happens because a Java library I use (Geotools) does exactly
that. The first start goes well, and it creates the directory
/var/lib/tomcat5.5/temp/Geotools/Databases/HSQL.

The second start fail. This is the error I get on the console:

 * Starting Tomcat servlet engine tomcat5.5                                     
                                        
rm: cannot remove `/var/lib/tomcat5.5/temp/Geotools': Is a directory
rm: cannot remove `/var/lib/tomcat5.5/temp/Geotools/Databases': Is a directory
rm: cannot remove `/var/lib/tomcat5.5/temp/Geotools/Databases/HSQL': Is a 
directory

I have to delete manually the directory /var/lib/tomcat5.5/temp/Geotools
in order to let Tomcat start again.
