The Tomcat release notes mention a Linux problem that seems to be fixed with JDK 1.4.

I can see where problems with 4.1.27 might have encouraged you to go to 5.0, but did you consider downgrading to 4.0.6? I still run that version for production virtually all development. It supports the same versions of the servlet/JSP specs as 4.1 and is very stable for me on JDK 1.3.1, 1.4.0 and 1.4.1.
