Local fix

  • The child UI process does not crash when launched as a
    stand-alone.
    

Problem summary

  • UI Process crashes, when launched through another UI process
    using Runtime.exec() call. As runtime linking was disabled in
    APAR IZ51393, the VM was pointing to the parent symbols which
    was not initilaized.
    

Problem conclusion

  • This defect will be fixed in:
    6.0.0 SR9
    .
    JVM has been updated to enable runtime linking within JDK.
    .
    To obtain the fix:
    Install build 20100610 or later
