web.xml error-page not working for 500 errors

I have configured my webapp to serve up error pages via the web.xml file:

    <error-page>
        <error-code>500</error-code>
        <location>/general_error.html</location>
    </error-page>
    <error-page>
        <error-code>404</error-code>
        <location>/general_error.html</location>
    </error-page>

This works without a problem for 404 errors, but 500 errors (such as
NullPointerExceptions) are not redirecting to the general_error.html page.

Is there a reason for this or is it a bug in tomcat 4.0.4?
