APAR status

  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • Error Message: N/A
    .
    Stack Trace: N/A
    .
    

Local fix

  • This problem can be worked around by excluding affected methods
    from JIT compilation; however, the methods to be excluded depend
    on the specific application / situation and require deep
    technical expertise for identification.  Please contact IBM for
    assistance with a work-around.
    

Problem summary

  • During a transition from executing JIT'ed java code to executing
    interpreted java code, when more than 16 parameters have been
    passed and some of the parameters above the 16th are floats and
    / or doubles, a hashing algorithm fails to distinguish between
    two called methods and re-uses a data structure that is not
    compatible between the two methods.
    

Problem conclusion

  • This defect will be fixed in:
    6.0.0 SR4
    5.0.0 SR12
    .
    The hashing algorithm has been improved such that it correctly
    distinguishes between the two called methods.
    .
    To obtain the fix:
    Install build 20081117 or later
    

Temporary fix
