so, is this considered a bug in tc 4.0b4?  is it something you plan on
fixing?  is it something i could fix myself?  

i'm trying to migrate to tc 4 (from tc 3.x) so i'd like to know whether
or not this will be fixed so i can decide what to do about servlets that
have this problem.  if it's fixable, i'll either wait for the fix or do
it myself.  if it's a big deal to fix, i'll have to look into reworking
my servlets.

just looking for some expert advice here.  i'm not too familiar with the
catalina internals.

thanks.
