Local fix

• N/A
  

Problem summary

• Bigdecimal did not use sufficient capacity while creating the
  string buffer for handling the BigDecimal numbers of the format
  xx.xx (multiple digits before and after the decimal point). The
  string buffer was created with less capacity and tried to access
  the element beyond the buffer limit.
  

Problem conclusion

• This defect will be fixed in:
  5.0.0 SR15
  .
  JDK has been updated to use sufficient capacity while creating
  the string buffer for handling BigDecimal numbers of the format
  xx.xx.
  

Temporary fix

• N/A
