Class reloading works differently in Tomcat 4.0 than in Tomcat 3.2. In
particular, it is implemented by a background thread looking at changes in
*any* class that has already been loaded, where Tomcat 3.2 checks as a
request is procesed (which normally catches changes to the servlet class
itself, but doesn't always catch changes to bean classes).
