Threads not freed up from https req.s from OS X Internet Explorer 5.2

           Summary: Threads not freed up from https req.s from OS X Internet
                    Explorer 5.2
           Product: Tomcat 4
           Version: 4.1.18
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows NT/2K
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Other
         Component: Connector:Coyote HTTP/1.1
        AssignedTo: tomcat-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: chuck@pcreducator.com


Environment details: Tomcat 4.1.18 with J2SDK 1.4.1_02 Running on Win2K with -
Xms256M -Xmx512M

System.activeThread() count seems to increased by 4 any time a new Mac OS X 
(10.2) client (using SSL connections from IE 5.2) browses to the site.  Threads 
are never returned, even after the Mac is powered down.  Threads do not 
increase as a result of Windows clients using IE 5.x or 6.x, even with SSL.

We have verified that the problem is not in our application by monitoring the 
thread counts while clients were browsing to Tomcat's ROOT context (non-SSL).

We do not observe this behavior when browsing from these machines using the 
Safari browser -- So it's probably IE 5.2 causing the problem, BUT...  
Shouldn't these threads somehow time out?

Thanks for any help and/or advice you can offer.
