Uneven structure of package makes error

SourceForge Submitter: toddrun .
I believe this is a bug in JBoss 3.0.1RC1. I am using
JDK 1.4.0_01 on a Linux machine with RedHat 7.2.
Here's the behavior:

I have a package with the following structure:

com
'-- msei
'--msSQL ----------------sql
--------------------moredirs--
'-SQLType4.class '-storedproc
'--moreclasses

'--IOParam.class

When SQLType4.class and IOParam.class are at different
levels (as shown), I get the error that follows when my
servlet calls the IOParam.class. If I remove the
storedproc directory, recreate the servlets and
redeploy, all is well.

Here is the error from the logs when the directory
structure is not balanced:
