I vaguely remember doing this...I think the only reason I changed it was
because I was trying to avoid using a deprecated method, but then that made
us dependant on the newer servlet spec, which we didn't want to do yet, and
so I reverted it.

I _think_ that was the context for the decision - it wasn't like this newer
method was in use for a while.

So all that to say that whatever issue Kirk is experiencing, I _don't_ think
it was caused by this particular change. Of course, I could be wrong... :-)

I'll keep reading the threads and then comment more as needed...
