Tomcat 4.1.18-LE re-writes tomcat-users.xml file; why?

[ch...@spamcop.net]

Hi,

I recently upgraded from tomcat 4.1.12-LE to 4.1.18-LE.  I use the simple
"Memory Realm" for user authentication.  I have been maintaining the
tomcat-users.xml file by hand, including comments etc.  It appears
that some portion of 4.1.18 reads and then rewrites the tomcat-users.xml
file because all of my comments etc. disappear shortly after the server
starts and long before I make any access to the server.  I am not using 
the manager webapp or anything else, although the manager webapp is starting.
Is the behavior with respect to the tomcat-users.xml file configurable?  
I would really prefer that it not be changed by some program.  

Please advise, thanks.

p.s. would you please cc me on any reply so I see it soonest?  Thanks.
