I finally solved the problem.
It is not Cocoon nor is it the sevlet container or apache.
The problem is caused by corrupt IPTC profiles in some JPG Images. e.g.:
Profile-iptc: 4496 bytes
unknown:
0x00000000: ffffffff ffffffff ffffffff ffffffff ffffff03 -----------
0x00000014: ffffffff ffffffff 03ff00 ------
Whereas most browsers don't care, some IE6 and 5.5 on Windows crash.
I got this corrupt profiles by generating thumbnails with
JMagick/ImageMagick.
I used v.5.4.2. The latest v.5.4.9 seems to handle profiles correctly,
but
I now remove all profiles generally with JMagick
image.profileImage("*", null);
This also reduces the file size of may thumbnails dramatically.
So this problem is completely OT.
But maybe this clue can help others out of this hell.

This was a wrong assumption.
I was put on this wrong track because I tested a static page from the
local filesystem
and the page rendered perfectly. In Another test with a static page
from the
server the page also rendered perfectly, as I know now, by accident it
did not
contain such harmful images.
