I haven't changed A THING in this respect, have also not changed Tomcat

I have not changed ANYTHING that could have caused this error since last
time I loaded this same JSP a few days ago...

Early in my programming career I was having the deuce of a time tracking down
a bug in something that had been working. My colleague asked me what had
changed. I swore I hadn't changed "A THING". My colleague kept patiently
repeating the question, "What is different? What changed?" Something had to
have changed, they explained, since I was getting different results. "Not a
thing," I kept swearing, until finally I remembered, "except ...". Naturally
that "except" was exactly what had caused the bug.
