ah, that makes sense.

heh, yeah. i think what must have happened is that i tried 
to shut down the server while it was under load, trying to 
store a bunch of webdav resources, and something got screwed 
up. i don't think tomcat normally shuts down its http 
connector or closes open connections before shutting down 
its webapps, but i could be mistaken.

anyway, i've only seen this error in the context of a badly 
misbehaving server that needed to be killed, so i'm not too 
worried about it. but i'm glad you were able to explain the 
error message, and i'll keep an eye on things to make sure 
this isn't a more common occurrence.

thanks!
