Re: Last call for comments on 2.3.17 + release date

Can you set the log level to trace for "freemarker.servlet",
"freemarker.jsp" and "net.sourceforge.stripes.tag" and let it fail
again? (I see the LayoutWriter in Stripes maintains a stack called
`writers`, which possibly goes out of balance somewhere, causing
LinkedList.pool() to return null, which in turns causing an NPE.)
