OK, are you doing this just so that you can manually control the startup
variables, or do you really use it to start tomcat?  Normally, you'd
use /etc/init.d/tomcat which would source /etc/default/tomcat5

I'd have to guess that JAVA_HOME isn't defined correctly and needs to point
to a _real_ JDK.  It does, however, seem from /etc/default/tomcat5 that
java-gcj should be good enough (and that's the path it uses).
