This update also fixes the following bug:
* Previously, using a New I/O (NIO) connector in the Apache Tomcat 6
servlet resulted in a large memory leak. An upstream patch has been applied
to fix this bug, and the memory leak no longer occurs. (BZ#1301646)
All Tomcat 6 users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which
contain backported patches to correct these issues. Tomcat must be
restarted for this update to take effect.");
