If the stacktrace looks like it is some VM issue - posting it here may
help - otherwise the tomcat folks may be a better bet.

One quick test - try running it as root and see if that changes anything -
some JDK version had that problem - which since is fixed if I recall
correctly.

We are using it with no great issue (other than that java can be quite
memory hungry :-)
