There's nothing in the logfiles (we are only using catalina.out) that would suggest 
that Tomcat even knows about a connection problem. The server just goes on as if 
nothing happened, but the messages it sends to the 'dead client' are never delivered. 
This might indeed be a load/config issue, although some users experienced the problem 
even when only 3 users were logged in. The confusing part is that we just cannot 
reproduce the bug on a fast network (not even with 15 users logged in), while neither 
the client nor the server use time-sensitive code for sending or receiving messages.

We are using tomcat 4.0.6 on a Debian/testing linux machine, kernel version 2.4.20
