As "Bap" replied, you must make sure you "escape" content that can be
interpreted by XML. Remember, this is an XML document that is being
submitted to an XML parser.
By doing this:
<jsp:scriptlet>
<![CDATA[
for(int i=0; i<6; i++)
out.println(i);
]]>
</jsp:scriptlet>
It should work fine.

Yes, bugrat is the preferred way to submit bug reports. If just submitted
to the mailing list, they unfortunately run the chance to fall through the
cracks.
