I installed this package on my laptop to play with it.  It installed
correctly, and starts up OK, but doesn't seem to service HTTP requests.  For
example:

  http://localhost:8180/examples/servlet/HelloWorldExample

hangs indefinitely, with no tomcat/java processes using CPU.  Same thing for
a locally installed WAR application.  It appears that a connection is
established and the request is sent:

Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address           Foreign Address         State      
tcp      447      0 127.0.0.1:8180          127.0.0.1:1068          ESTABLISHED 

But never processed.  I tried with IBM's JDK 1.3 and Sun's 1.4 release
candidate with the same results.
