Description Curt Arnold 2007-08-21 13:56:33 UTC 
The underlying problem is the same as bug 40159 which dealt with the NDC.  The MDC code depends on 
non-private fields not being null.  Don't understand how the Tomcat reload interferes with what were 
intended to be class invariants, but since they can be modified outside the class, use inside the class 
should anticipate all potential values.
