Is it servlets running on Your web site? What version? I
searched google and all memory leak problems I found where
solved either tuning (or replacing) java VM, or application
itself. There are not reports about memory leak exactly with
peer tomcat-4.1.31 and servlets-1.1

Debian tomcat maintainer (or at least he is author of two last
records in the changelog) Arnaud Vandyck <avdyk@debian.org> have
started tomcat5 debian package project in the 2004 year:

http://alioth.debian.org/pm/task.php?group_project_id=25&group_id=30085&func=browse

But it is far from complete.

Thanks, I know this link. There are no problem to build stand
alone package. We can package tomcat-5.5.x the same way, but
there are no sense to do this apart from debian. The task is to
integrate tomcat-5.x.x into debian distribution.

This is very bad, but on the other hand, this one more strong
reason to make debian tomcat5 available as soon as possible.
