bug in Tomcat 3.2.2???

[Jo...@mapinfo.com]

Hello Apache,


I am a software engineer that works as an Enterprise Support Specialist at
MapInfo Corporation, which
is located in the United States of America.  One of our main products
(MapInfo's "MapXtremeJava4.0") ships
with TOMCAT3.2.2, and as of recent, we have been getting *customer
complaints* that this version of
Tomcat (i.e. version 3.2.2) is throwing the following exception for no
apparent reason:


2001-10-31 04:42:40 - ContextManager: SocketException reading request,
ignored - java.net.SocketException: Connection reset by peer
        at java.net.PlainSocketImpl.socketAvailable(Native Method)
        at java.net.PlainSocketImpl.socketAvailable(Compiled Code)
        at java.net.PlainSocketImpl.available(Compiled Code)
        at java.net.SocketInputStream.available(Compiled Code)
        at
org.apache.tomcat.service.http.HttpConnectionHandler.processConnection(Compiled

Code)
        at org.apache.tomcat.service.TcpWorkerThread.runIt(Compiled Code)
        at org.apache.tomcat.util.ThreadPool$ControlRunnable.run(Compiled
Code)
        at java.lang.Thread.run(Compiled Code)

(NOTE: we at MapInfo are able to consistently reproduce this error
ourselves, in our testing lab.)

After researching this exception on the internet, I came across the
following site that appears to be a "bug report" list hosted
by "BugRat," which claims this exception is a bug in the TOMCAT3.2.1
release.  Here's a link to the site that says this:

I am writing you in order to confirm that this is indeed a bug.
Specifically, here are my questions:

[1]
Is this a bug in TOMCAT3.2.1???

[2]
Is this a bug in TOMCAT3.2.2???

[3]
If it is a bug, can we safely IGNORE it?
(Or is TOMCAT broken?)

[4]
Lastly, if it is a bug, will there be a PATCH issued?
(Or some type of fix?)


Thank you in advance for any information you can give regarding this
matter.

Sincerely,
John Dove
