Local fix

Problem summary

• The problem happens when an invalid byte sequence is being
  converted to characters.  The bad byte sequence causes an
  exception which is handled and then the conversion is resumed.
  The problem is that the conversion is resumed from the the wrong
  position in the byte sequence and too many bytes are converted,
  overflowing an internal buffer.
  

Problem conclusion

• This defect will be fixed in:
  5.0.0 SR12 FP1
  .
  The JVM has been updated to resume byte conversion at the
  correct position.
  .
  To obtain the fix:
  Install build 20100808 or later
  

Temporary fix

• The problem can be work around by ignoring the malformed
  characters using java command line option :
  
  -Dcom.ibm.IgnoreMalformedInput=true
