Local fix

Problem summary

• APAR IV48098 has limitation as it fixes the problem only if
  filename is less than 512 bytes. Also wcstombs_s api cannot
  convert wide character to multibyte character and if file name
  has any unconvertable character then wcstombs_s api cannot write
  filename in trace.
  

Problem conclusion

• JDK is updated to use required buffer length, and to use
  WideCharToMultiByte api instead of wcstombs_s api which can
  convert wide character to UTF8 character.
  .
  This APAR will be fixed in the following Java Releases:
     7 SR7 FP1 (7.0.7.1)
     7 R1 SR1 FP1 (7.1.1.1)
