I'm talking about binary version of tomcat, not log4j ;)

(i cut the official JCL 1.0.4 and 1.1.0 binaries)

this may be an issue with the gentoo source compilation for commons logging. when compiled from source (rather than using the jakarta binary), you may encounter issues if log4j is upgraded without recompiling JCL.

(if this is a common problem, i could drop in on IRC somewhere - where? - later tonight)
