      1. Fresh install of JWS 3.1 Tomcat 8 (including tomcat-native, this only affects APR)
      2. Edit server.xml so default Connector has enableLookups="true"
      3. Add a RemoteHostValve. For example:

      <Valve className="org.apache.catalina.valves.RemoteHostValve" allow="localhost"/>

      4. Send a request:

      # curl -v http://127.0.0.1:8080/
*   Trying 127.0.0.1...
* TCP_NODELAY set
* Connected to 127.0.0.1 (127.0.0.1) port 8080 (#0)

      When I have enableLookups enabled and a RemoteHostValve configured, I get a NullPointerException for the first request. Other requests don't seem to trigger the NPE.
