Hmm.. I included a patch in the "work around" field, but it looks
like the system either drooped it, or hides it.
Well, I include it here for safety:

*** tomcat.sh.orig      Thu Nov  2 20:24:53 2000
--- tomcat.sh   Thu Nov  2 20:35:53 2000

*** 74,79 ****
--- 74,89 ----

   if [ -z "$JAVA_HOME" ] ;  then
     JAVA=`which java`
+   while [ -L "$JAVA" ]; do
+     ls=`/bin/ls -ld "$JAVA"`
+     link=`/usr/bin/expr "$ls" : '.*-> \(.*\)$'`
+     if /usr/bin/expr "$link" : '/' > /dev/null; then
+         JAVA="$link"
+     else
+         JAVA="`/usr/bin/dirname $JAVA`/$link"
+     fi
+   done
+
     if [ -z "$JAVA" ] ; then
       echo "Cannot find JAVA. Please set your PATH."
       exit 1
