As reuse of handlers by the jsp engine are allowed in the JSP 1.1 spec, the 
semantic of the for tag should be defined explicitly. In absence of the  "begin" 
attribute the counter should start with 0. 

This can be accomblished by changing the function doStartTag in
package org.apache.taglibs.utility.lang to

    public int doStartTag() {
        count=0;
	return EVAL_BODY_TAG;
    }
