Do you have any other ideas on how to debug this?
- Does it happen always, when you restart/stop httpd? - Does it happen at the exact same time? If so, you can start strace against the Java process and stop httpd. Then check in the strace output (write to a file), whether you can either see a signal sent, or a connect on the Tomcat shutdown port. A slightly similar thing I once saw was people starting Tomcat interactively with a shell, that did not have job control and sent some signal to all child processes, when the user terminated the shell, resp. logged out (I think it was ksh on Solaris at that time).
