references to non-existant URL's cause tomcat to hang

           Summary: references to non-existant URL's cause tomcat to hang
           Product: Tomcat 3
           Version: 3.2.3 Final
          Platform: PC
               URL: https://secure1.csz.com/thankyou.jsp
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Major
          Priority: Other
         Component: Connectors
        AssignedTo: tomcat-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: mussatto@csz.com


web server: Apache-ssl 
connector: mod-jk
Refering to a .jsp page in the parent directory causes tomcat to start a java
process which never completes and consumes all available CPU.
Work around is to start tomcat 'niced'.  
All contexts are "sub-directories" off of the secure server's home directory so
tomcat should not be processing .jsp pages.  
If a non-existant page is refered to within a context, the page not found error
is properly returned.

Potential denial of service impact.
