The reason this occurred is that a significant security bug was found,
warranting an *immediate* 3.2.1 release that bypassed the usual testing cycle
that a beta should go through.  This wasn't the only thing that didn't make it
-- but security issues are serious and need to be dealt with.

Normal processing of bug fixes and patches on the "tomcat_32" tree is now
feasible for a 3.2.2 release.

Hint:  I am not the only committer on this project -- others are welcome to help
integrate changes too.
