TC v5.5.12 Breaks v5.5.9 Configuration

Hi all,
Pardon my post to the dev group. I already posted to the "User" list but received no useful response.
I've just tried to "upgrade" from TC v5.5.9 to v5.5.12 and it seems my (very simple) configuration is now broken.
The following configuration works beautifully under 5.5.9 -- no exceptions, no warnings, just utter perfection.
Here's a description of my configuration (BTW, CATALINA_HOME and JAvA_HOME are fine, I'm sure they're not causing the problem). 

I have CATALINA_BASE set like this:
  C:\Projects\Configs\
Within this "Configs" directory I have two sub-directories: "conf" and "Engine_01" like this: 

  C:\Projects\Configs\
      |
      +-conf\
      |  |
      |  +-server.xml
      |  +-web.xml
      |
      +-Engine01\
      |  |
      |  +-localhost\
      |  |  |
      |  |  +-ROOT.xml
Within the "conf" directory I have my "server.xml" and the default "web.xml" files. Here is the server.xml contents: 

<Server port="10035" shutdown="SHUTDOWN" debug="0">
 <Service name="Catalina">
   <Connector port="80" />
   <Engine name="ENGINE_01" defaultHost="localhost">
     <Host name="localhost" appBase="..\Sites\Test 1"/>
   </Engine>
 </Service>
</Server>


Notice I have named the engine, "Engine_01".
As you can see, in the "Engine_01" directory I have a subdirectory, "localhost", which contains a context fragment file named, "ROOT.xml". Here is the contents of ROOT.xml: 

  <Context path="" docBase=""/>
In my "server.xml" you'll notice I have my appBase property set to "..\Sites\Test 1". Here is the "Sites" directory structure: 

  C:\Projects\Sites\
      |
      +-Test 1\
          |
          +-index.html
          +-WEB-INF\
              |
              +-web.xml
              +-classes\
              +-root\
It's all quite simple, I think. When I run under v5.5.9, this configuration works perfectly, as I said.
Using the EXACT SAME configuration, running under v5.5.12, I see this WARNING and EXCEPTION when I start TC:
WARNING: A docBase C:\Projects\Sites\Test 1\. inside the host appBase has been specified, and will be ignored Sep 26, 2005 8:37:22 PM org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext resourcesStart

So, you can see I have one WARNING and one EXCEPTION. Neither of these are present under v5.5.9. What's changed? Is 5.5.12 broke or was v5.5.9 broke?
In case you are wondering, in response to the above exception I did indeed modify my "Sites" directory structure to include an outer "ROOT" directory (which was not necessary with v5.5.9): 

  C:\Projects\Sites\
      |
      +-Test 1\
          |
          +-ROOT\
             |
             +-index.html
             +-WEB-INF\
                |
                +-web.xml
                +-classes\
                +-root\
Doing this eliminated the exception but I still received the WARNING message.
Again, does anyone know what has changed from v5.5.9 to v5.5.12 to cause this WARNING and SEVERE error problem??? 

Thanks.
