System.exit(0) is the very definition of successful termination although
it certainly doesn't belong in your webapp's code.

What rot.  All the problems you mention above you traced back to your

I myself have a strong preference for Linux but for reasons unrelated to
Tomcat.  In reality, you'll find that most Tomcat experts don't give a
