The caching change for #32311 has never been released. I'd like to suggest we revert that change and go back to creating formatters as needed (as we did in the last release). Due to the removal of synchronized on Calendar#getInstance() this will solve the original issue and not add any threading issues. If we want to improve the performance we can do that later by caching formatters in each tag instance, or by using a thread-safe date/time library uch as Joda.
Thoughts?
