Tomcat can't load sessions whose attributes refer the session instance

           Summary: Tomcat can't load sessions whose attributes refer the
                    session instance
           Product: Tomcat 4
           Version: 4.1.27
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows NT/2K
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Other
         Component: Catalina
        AssignedTo: tomcat-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: bob.news@gmx.net


When putting an instance into the session that has a non transient reference to 
the current session, storage on tomcat shutdown succeeds but on loading the 
session during tomcat startup fails with a java.io.StreamCorruptedException.  
(see attachment, which contains a sample app as well as a log file with 
debug="99")

As an additional Note: when one tries to serialize the session instance into a 
ByteArrayOutputStream just before storage, there is no serialization error.  
This problem seems to be special to *loading*.

Steps to reproduce:
0. optionally build the webapp
1. deploy the web application
2. start tomcat
3. access http://<server>/<path>/index.jsp
4. shutdown tomcat
5. start tomcat
6. check the log

When the instance of class test.SessionBindingListener does *not* keep the 
reference to the session instance, the problem goes away.
