Hi all.
We had the same problem as reported in
http://java.net/jira/browse/JAVASERVERFACES-1845 using mojarra head (updated 21.12.2010).
My analysis is added as comment to issue 1845 and I also added a proposed patch.
Discussing it with Ed he suspected the patch is handling a symptom and not the cause. He wants Andy Schwartz to have a special look on it.
I attached the small patch directly here - please also see the analysis in 1845.
regards
Hanspeter
