If it really does nothing now and it was ok in b7, maybe it's also a
regression caused by a new feature Craig introduced (the new CATALINA_BASE
property). I had trouble with that and my service stuff.
I'll look into it.

Well, we do nothing more than unreferencing the old CL, clearing /
recreating the servlet context, and destroy / unload / load / init all
servlets and filters. So it's fully possible to have objects instatiated
from the old CL if you keep the references.
