No affect, still have the problem.  I stopped tomcat, restarted, and 
removed the work directory for my context, just in case, but still see 
the problem.

FYI: I'm initializing like so...

<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core" prefix="c" %>
<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/functions" prefix="fn" %>
<%@ taglib uri="http://jakarta.apache.org/taglibs/benchmark-1.0" 
prefix="bm" %>

I think I'll try a simple test case, like Hassan suggested.
