Streams returned by getResourceAsStream don't close properly

           Summary: Streams returned by getResourceAsStream don't close
                    properly
           Product: Tomcat 4
           Version: 4.0.1 Final
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows NT/2K
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Major
          Priority: Other
         Component: Unknown
        AssignedTo: tomcat-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: james.kemp@northgate-is.com


In our servlet we tried to get a resource as a stream so that we can read it 
using a java Properties object, this works successfully and we close the stream 
returned to us. 
If we then use getRealPath to get to the resource we have opened using 
getResourceAsStream, create a file output stream to it, write a new property to 
the properties file then close we can get a corrupt properties file with the 
old contents.
It's as if the underlying inputstream has not been closed when we originally 
accessed the resource.
We have tested this in Resin and our test behaved as we expected.
