Does this actually do anything?  I don't think the jvm will treat the 
JVM_PARAM variable in a special way.  Google at least didn't seem to 
come up with anything.  So unless the JVM_PARAM is on the invocation 
line to tomcat.sh, I don't think anyone is going to see these values.

You might try modifying the tomcat.sh script to dump its parameters to a 
file where you can see them, just to verify what's being passed in to 
the tomcat instance.  There might be a better way too; maybe the ps 
command can be induced to dump the command line of a running process.
