When testing 1.8.2 P03 EPS with a patched build of 1.8.2 P03 (includes only additional logging) for case 10040, the customer was unable to run their application. The application did not load, the screen froze and the browser eventually crashes. Here are the offending code snippets from the exception (also below):

MainServlet.java

// ICE-4507 let Jetty continuation messages get through untouched
String errorClassname = e.getClass().getName();
if (errorClassname.startsWith("org.mortbay.jetty")) {
    throw e;
    }
throw new RuntimeException("wrapped Exception: " + errorClassname, e); line 217


SessionDispatcher.java

try {
            //put the request in the pool of active request in case HttpServletRequest.isUserInRole need to be called
            addRequest(id, request);
            //lookup session bound server -- this is a lock-free strategy
            lookupServer(session).service(request, response); line 78
        }

and the the exception:
