Error loading web.xml on root context when specified in server.xml file on Windows

           Summary: Error loading web.xml on root context when specified in
                    server.xml file on Windows
           Product: Tomcat 4
           Version: 4.0 Final
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows NT/2K
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Other
         Component: Catalina
        AssignedTo: tomcat-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: shuber@xo3.com


I did the following....

1. uncommented the root context line in server.xml to look like this :
        <!-- Tomcat Root Context -->
        <Context path="" docBase="ROOT" debug="0"/>

2. when I start Tomcat I get the following log entry in localhost_log :

Note that this problem seems to be specific to Windows, I don't have the 
problem on Linux... The filesystem in Windows 2000 is NTFS.
