Error description
? The ras.lite code is accessing and modifying a HashSet on multiple threads with no synchronization (or use of a concurrent collection type). We found the following stacktrace with Javacore files.

Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: WebSphere Application Server users of * * trace * * implemented by the ras.lite component in * * the thin client. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: An infinite loop may be encountered * * when using trace in the thin client * * in a multithreaded application. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** The ras.lite component used an unsychronized HashSet to store state information. If a multithreaded application is running in the thin client enviroment then the HashSet may be updated concurrently on multiple threads and the internal data structure of the HashSet may become corrupted causing an infinte loop.
Problem conclusion
The ras.lite component was modified to use concurrent versions of collection objects where necessary. The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in fix packs 7.0.0.33, 8.0.0.9 and 8.5.5.2.
