Strange Tomcat Admin Tool behavior

[Doug Selph]

I have installed Tomcat 4.1.18, configured a user with the 
"administrator" role in tomcat-users.xml, and tried to use the 
Administration Tool. When logging in to the admin tool, I get this 
error:

--------------------------

HTTP Status 400 - Invalid direct reference to form login page

type Status report

message Invalid direct reference to form login page

description The request sent by the client was syntactically incorrect 
(Invalid direct reference to form login page).

Apache Tomcat/4.1.18

--------------------------

If I enter a *known* bad password, I get the expected invalid username 
or password page rather than a server error page, so this only occurs 
after authentication is successful, apparently. I get the same result 
with Tomcat installed on both Mac OS-X 10.2.4 (JDK 1.3.1) and RedHat 
Linux 8.0 (JDK 1.4.1). Is this a known problem with the Admin Tool? Or 
am I missing some part of the setup for this tool?

Thanks,
Doug
