This could also happen on Linux is you are using "jsvc" to launch
Tomcat. If you use the standard shell scripts to launch Tomcat, you'll
get stdout/stderr redirected to catalina.out and it will grow indefinitely.
If you use jsvc, you get log-file rotation out of the box. Instead of
one giant catalina.out file, you'll get daily catalina-stdout.txt and
catalina-stderr.txt files. I'm not sure why you have a zero-length
catalina.out in those circumstances.
Thank you very much. Especially given that I had no practical reason for
knowing the answer, and had asked purely out of morbid curiosity.
