* RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
****************************************************************
The Servlet Engine always trys to clean up POST data in finish
method even if there is no need to do so. The cleanup sometimes
causes ServletException because IOException thrown.
Problem conclusion
There were two problems fixed: 1, ServletEngine (SE) should only
cleanup unread post data. If SE knew there was no data left
over, SE should not do the cleanup. 2, In case cleanup got an
IOException, SE should only log the event and continue its
normal course, because when finish method is called, the
response is already completed, neither additional info nor error
page could be sent back to client.
