Looks like a threading issue. There is a problem with RequestDispatcher that *might* be affecting you in 5.5.17 that is fixed in 5.5.21 - it only occurs if you reuse the same request dispatcher object for multiple requests. It that isn't it, look for cases in your code where you store the request object for later re-use.
