VisualAge 3.5.3, JSP, fatal error in compiler

[Sean Sullivan]

I am using VisualAge for Java, Enterprise Edition, version 3.5.3
on Windows 2000 Professional.
99% of my JSP's compile without a hitch. However, one of my JSP's
will not compile.
I encounter a fatal error in the compiler. How do I resolve this issue?

Error 500

An error has occured while processing
request:http://localhost:8080/foobar/x/y
