behavior seen on both JDK 1.3 and JDK1.3.1

java version "1.3.1-rc1"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.3.1-rc1-b19)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.3.1-rc1-b19, mixed mode)

J2EE release is the Feb 28 promoted build.

Bug shows up when I try to deploy an application which has both web and ejb
components. Primary function of the test is to verify security context propagation between components.
