Somik,
Are there really more than 1000 threads? When I start tomcat I get about
35 threads... are you running a standardish configuration or have you
changed things?
When you say you've checked your servlets and none of them have threads
that dont end - are you sure? maybe post one of your servlets so people
can check it.
