There has been enough testing for uploading (with the standalone
connector, at least, but there's no difference with JK for this), that I
can confidently say that there's very little likelihood of a Tomcat bug
in this area.

Maybe if the thing uses readLine on the Tomcat provided reader (a rather
annoying method to implement, so maybe there could be a bug), but in the
unlikely case it does, I recommend dumping that library in favor of
commons-fileupload (readLine is by definition awful performance wise).
