I have a very strange problem and it is almost unreproducable. If someone would
like to help me isolate the issue I'd be much abliged. I'm willing to do the
research work on it, but need a few hints where to look. The following happens: 

We have an index.jsp which jsp:includes a menu.jsp. The menu.jsp is a relatively
large plain text file. The menu.jsp is generated every night at midnight to
reflect the changes of the day. Some days when we come in, the menu only shows
partially. Other days the whole menu is shown.

When checking the generated java and class files everything seems to be in
order. The index.jsp has a JspRuntimeLibrary.include where the jsp:include was
and the menu.jsp, menu_jsp.java and menu_jsp.class(decompiled to check) all
resemble the new state. The index.jsp shows itself entirely, however only a part
of the included html is shown. If the menu.jsp is recreated manually everything
works again.

A sidenote to this bug is that it only seems to occur with larger includes (this
example is 1300 lines). Other sites we've created use the same method of
including and menu generation with smaller menus and they have no problem.
