tomcat won't serve up page of specific name

Hello, friends,

We use Tomcat in our product under development and are
reasonably pleased with it.  However, we have one
server in a bad state.  For some reason, on this one
system, Tomcat is not serving up a .jsp of a
particular name.  
IE times out with the message 
"The page cannot be displayed. Cannot find server or
DNS Error"
Netscape times out with the message
"The document contained no data"

The apache/logs/access_log.1 file shows requests for
all pages.  Each line has the name of the page
followed by the number of bytes sent for the request. 
The entries that show requests for this particular
page have -- in place of the number of bytes.

It doesn't matter what this 'monitorview.jsp'
contains.  If we put its current contents into a file
of another name, it pops right up.  If I change its
contents to something as simple as an HTML 'hello,
world', it still fails. 

If I delete the file and try to access it, I get the
'HTTP 404 - File not found' as expected.  And the file
comes up fine on the many other systems we install it
on.  The browser is accessing the file directly (not
going through a proxy server).
 
I've noticed the following activity in the jasper.log
when I hit the page:
<JASPER_LOG> Tue Oct 03 16:23:10 MDT 2000 JspEngine
--> /monitorview.jsp</JASPER_LOG>
<JASPER_LOG> Tue Oct 03 16:23:10 MDT 2000           
ServletPath: /monitorview.jsp</JASPER_LOG>
<JASPER_LOG> Tue Oct 03 16:23:10 MDT 2000

<JASPER_LOG> Tue Oct 03 16:23:10 MDT 2000

<JASPER_LOG> Tue Oct 03 16:23:10 MDT 2000            
RequestURI: /console/monitorview.jsp</JASPER_LOG>
<JASPER_LOG> Tue Oct 03 16:23:10 MDT 2000           
QueryString: null</JASPER_LOG>
<JASPER_LOG> Tue Oct 03 16:23:10 MDT 2000        
Request Params: </JASPER_LOG>
<JASPER_LOG> Tue Oct 03 16:23:10 MDT 2000 Classpath
according to the Servlet Engine is:
/usr/local/intel/console/WEB-INF/classes</JASPER_LOG>
<JASPER_LOG> Tue Oct 03 16:24:28 MDT 2000 JspEngine
--> /monitorview.jsp</JASPER_LOG>
<JASPER_LOG> Tue Oct 03 16:24:28 MDT 2000

<JASPER_LOG> Tue Oct 03 16:24:28 MDT 2000             
 PathInfo: null</JASPER_LOG>
<JASPER_LOG> Tue Oct 03 16:24:28 MDT 2000             
 RealPath:
/usr/local/intel/console/monitorview.jsp</JASPER_LOG>
<JASPER_LOG> Tue Oct 03 16:24:28 MDT 2000            
RequestURI: /console/monitorview.jsp</JASPER_LOG>
<JASPER_LOG> Tue Oct 03 16:24:28 MDT 2000           
QueryString: null</JASPER_LOG>
<JASPER_LOG> Tue Oct 03 16:24:28 MDT 2000        
Request Params: </JASPER_LOG>
<JASPER_LOG> Tue Oct 03 16:24:28 MDT 2000 Classpath
according to the Servlet Engine is:
/usr/local/intel/console/WEB-INF/classes</JASPER_LOG>
 
Nothing jumps out at me from that, but I don't pretend
to understand the log completely.
 
We haven't seen this problem on any other system, so
we're hesitant to restart Jakarta or reinstall as we
would probably lose the ability to reproduce the
problem.  We'd like to know why it happened and the
likelihood of it happening again.
 
Ideas?

Try cleaning out the ${tomcat.home}/work  directory? (ie: compiled .jsp
files)

HTH,
