So now the big question: can you reliably trigger the "primary
catalyst"? If so, we can try a few things.

First, figure out how to blow-up your application. That shouldn't be
that tough: just make sure you exercise the code that uses ImageIO to
write directly to a ServletOutputStream. Since you said that you
aren't using ImageIO, this might present a challenge.... but you are
going to have to find it.

Next, implement the OutputStream-wrapper[1] in the code that bombs.

Then, try to bomb your webapp again. If it no longer bombs, then you
are probably done: congratulations. If it still bombs, you might have
missed a use of ImageIO: look again, re-wrap and re-try.

If that does not work, we could use some more information about your
environment. IIRC, you have installed Tomcat 7.0.40 including the
bundled tcnative library, on Microsoft Windows in a directory called
"Tomcat 5.5" because of some hard-coded paths. So, everything is
TC7.0.40, the library is statically-linked, and the tcnative version
is 1.2.27. Can you confirm the above and also confirm the versions of
tcnative, APR, and OpenSSL you have? They should all be displayed in
your catalina.out log file (or wherever stdout goes when you launch
Tomcat) near the beginning of the output after a fresh TC launch.

If you are in production and just want to stop crashing, then you
should switch connectors: use either the BIO or NIO connectors and you
should avoid the fatal crash that occurs when the native stream has
(likely) been closed and nulled-out.
