Filip,

thank you for your help.
Your suggestion actually helped to identify the root of our issues: it  
was not related to Tomcat 6 but instead it was an issue in the version  
of DBCP we were using (a snapshot of November 2007); we have upgraded  
it to the HEAD and the errors seem gone away (we are running some load  
testing sessions right now).

Thanks so much and sorry for the off-topic.

Jacopo
