Local fix

Problem summary

• The problem is caused when the JVM attempts to print the date of
  a security certificate at startup as part of a diagnostic run.
  The default TimeZone is subject to an unnecessary security check
  which causes an infinite loop.
  

Problem conclusion

• This defect will be fixed in:
  5.0.0 SR11 FP1
  .
  The JVM has been updated to remove the uneccessary security
  check.
  .
  To obtain the fix:
  Install build 20091211 or later
