Thanks, Richard! Can you share a Tomcat version number? This sounds like the same issue we've been seeing in GWT hosted mode, and I've been trying to figure out where this is triggered in the Tomcat codebase so maybe we can work around it better. GWT's embedded version is special enough and old enough that I'm never quite sure if I'm looking at Google's code or Apache Group's.
