Local fix

Problem summary

• When J9VM is requesting a new encoding module through iconv()
  function family, a switch must be made from J9VM thread to the
  IPT (Initial Program Thread)  to load the requested module into
  LE. Under CICS, IPT returns after completing JVM creation and
  discards its LE context . A JVM thread  wakes up for logging
  purposes. It invokes an iconv call (ie character conversion of
  some kind) which triggers a switch to IPT as the requested
  encoding module is not represent in LE.  In this situation,
  since IPT no longer holds a valid LE context, a crash occurs.
  

Problem conclusion

• This defect will be fixed in:
  5.0.0 SR12
  6.0.0 SR9
  .
  The JVM has been updated to "pre-load" the UTF-8 character
  encoding module at JVM initialization time when a IPT is
  present.
