--- Comment #2 from Emmanuel Bourg <eb...@apache.org> ---
It looks like this issue is caused by the symlinks to /usr/share/java/jstl.jar
and /usr/share/java/standard.jar installed in the WEB-INF/lib directory of the
examples application. Replacing the links with the actual files no longer
triggers the error.

This error doesn't appear with the tomcat7-examples package which also uses
symlinks (Tomcat 7.0.55).
