Special thanks to Remy for resolving the issue! I appolgize to him
specifically and to the dev list in general for the harshness of some of
my comments, I was frustrated after seeing my first atempt at debugging
actual Tomcat code being thwarted becaues of a simple error on my part.
I am "new" to the world of contributing to the Apache Tomcat Open Source
project and appreciate the patience and understanding shown by those
involved.

That being said, I have learned a LOT about the tomcat/apache project
and process in general and look forward to contributing in any way I can
in the future. 

Yoav, I actually stumbled upon the commited source fix while parusing a
link to one of the other emails that came through a bit ago, but your
explination was spot on, thank you. Here is the specific fix if anyone
is interested.

http://svn.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi/tomcat/connectors/trunk/http11/src/jav
a/org/apache/coyote/http11/Http11AprProcessor.java?rev=349764&view=marku
p

Again, thank you all for your help!!! Less than a full day's turn around
for a bug fix is commendable... Viva Open Source! I will have to say
that our company has been impressed with what the Tomcat developers have
been able to turn out and I have finally been given a glimps of the
action behind the scene;) Now back to the daily grind =*( 

Sincerely,

Nate,

Bugs are marked as FIXED when a fix has been committed to the source
code repository.  You can see the fix browsing http://svn.apache.org. 
If you're not sure how to navigate that structure, start at
http://svn.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi/tomcat/connectors/trunk/http11/src/jav
a/org/apache/coyote/http11/
and click on the relevant files.  You can see code diffs there as well.

This is different from marking issues as FIXED when a release comes
out: both approaches have their pros and cons.  We use the former for
many reasons, and prefer to stay that away.

If a bug is marked as FIXED but you can't find a relevant commit, you do
what you did (albeit in a nicer tone if possible ;)) and ask on the
dev@tomcat.apache.org mailing list.
