[TriLUG] very strange tomcat error

I started to get an odd tomcat error last night (on a test machine) so
I backed off tomcat and java (using rpm -e for all packages).  I then
reinstalled java then tomcat and tomcat-webapps.  A "service tomcat4
start" doesn't complain, but the service does not listen on it's port.
 A service tomcat4 stop produces the following written to standard
error:
