context fails if the path contains subdirectories

           Summary: context fails if the path contains subdirectories
           Product: Tomcat 5
           Version: 5.0.19
          Platform: PC
               URL: http://localhost:8080/admin/frameset.jsp (web admin GUI)
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Critical
          Priority: Other
         Component: Webapps:Administration
        AssignedTo: tomcat-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: I.Dunn@open.ac.uk


The context works OK until I try to 'commit changes' on any setting in the GUI
web admin or reboot the server.

eg context path for the webapp is
  /courseCode/startDate

the directory URL is 
  file:/public/htmldocs/courseCode/startDate

If I press save, commit changes then log out, when I log back in again admin
returns the following error:
   type Status report

   message Error retrieving attribute debug

   description The server encountered an internal error (Error retrieving
   attribute debug) that prevented it from fulfilling this request.

Manager then does not show that the context exists. Any requests to the page
show This application is not currently available

If I reboot the server the context has gone as well.

If I use a flat context (eg /courseCode_startDate) it works.

This was not a problem in previous versions.
