  .
  The application name registered with trace was 16 characters or

  offline instead of printed out directly. Alternatively the
  length of the application name registered can be shortened.
  

Problem summary

  the size of the space intended for displaying it in the
  formatted trace point output of -Xtrace:print.
  

Problem conclusion

• This defect will be fixed in:
  7.0.0 SR3
  6.0.1 SR4

  names when printing out trace points.
  

Temporary fix
