Tomcat dies with no error.

[Adam Brundrett <a....@har.mrc.ac.uk>]

We are using Tomcat 4.1.29 on a Solaris 9 x86 web server (dual 3GHz 
Zeons) with 2gb RAM. 

Twice now Tomcat, which has been happily running under light load (only 
a couple of users currently) has simply stopped.  One second it is 
working, the next it is not.  No crashes, no error messages, no log 
entries beyond the usual "removing application at context path <x>" 
which are written to the localhost log when the server is shutting 
down.  It's almost as if the shutdown.sh script has been run automatically.

I can't see any reason why this should be happening and with no error 
messages or log entries to go on, I'm at a bit of a loss as to where to 
start!  A thorough Googling turned up nothing relevant.  The unix server 
logs show nothing other than the frantic emailing that occurred around 
the time of tomcat's demise.  After the first time Tomcat quit for no 
reason, I set up a script to monitor Tomcat and mail me if the process 
vanished.

Any ideas?

Adam.
