The only advice is this:

"A Google search suggests that a lack of OS resources could also be a cause of
this error. Given that the environment is highly threaded, and taking this to
also mean highly loaded, this looks more like a JVM/OS issue to me."

Resource usage is next to nothing on the servers I've run against. Furthermore,
even if this is an OS/JVM issue, will you simply drop all claims of support for
Solaris? I've tested against multiple JVM versions, and this does not seem to
affect the performance of Tomcat. This may only be an issue with Solaris, but
if the price of Solaris support is a "a negligible performance impact", then
why not implement the fix, noting that it only corrects the Solaris
environment? Not integrating a fix because it "should work" is absurd from a
practical, 'my-business-application-really-needs-to-work-or-I'll-lose-money'
mindset.

You claim that the fix would exacerbate the issue, which it did not. Clearly,
the issue is not well-enough understood to make such sweeping statements. I do
not have the time to spend the next month researching the internals of Tomcat
and Solaris to understand why this specific test scenario fails repeatedly. As
an pragmatic person, I fail to understand why a clear solution for a popular
server operating system backed by Sun with a slow release cycle with minimal
negative impact would be rejected.

I claim that unless someone can prove that the fix is explicitly harmful, with
actual test data, the fix should be implemented, as it has been proven
explicitly helpful with actual test data.

Is this not a rational argument?
