Tomcat 5.5 on Ubuntu 7.04 broken by default

We just got bitten by this, so beware: if you're trying to get Tomcat working on Ubuntu, beware: there's a bug that prevents it writing to the catalina.out log file. See the ubuntu bug and the upstream debian bug. The workaround is to zap the catalina.out pipe and replace it with a real file.
