Tomcat crashing silently

Sometimes I'm surprised to see strange Tomcat crash - no error message in log, the process just stopped running.

As usual, the root cause is between the keyboard and the chair - I have some infinite loop in the code :)

Too bad that there is no log to give a hint. So the only way to tell is to do remote debugging and find out the code line where the problem occurs.

Of course this can happen also on Jetty, or whatever other servlet container.
