+1 for continuing the release.

Getting 2.1 out the door is an important step that fixes many 
outstanding issues and is worth releasing.

Also, I have a feeling that the fix for this will end up being in 
Pluto.  We are using a pinned version - and there are significant 
changes between the version of trunk that we stopped at and the current 
trunk.  It very well may be that this issue is already fixed.

But if it isn't, I'm sure that with folks from Geronimo working with the 
people working on Pluto - we'll be able to get it straightened out quickly.
