I've done some further searching, and noticed that tomcat was also dumping
information into stdout. There is another log trace that might be helpful if
anyone else recognizes the problem. I'm of the belief that this is a bug of
some sort, but I don't know who to pass the information along to.
Also, I tried adding information into the context docbase, and it had no
effect on the problem. I also removed all log4j files that I had added to
the configuration. Again, this wasn't happening with tomcat 5.5.12, but
started after I began to use 5.5.15.
Thanks.
