    ****************************************************************
    A crash can be seen in the C library "free" function if using
    the intelligent management feature on the web server plugin
    and DNS errors prevented creation of WebSphere transports.
    

Problem conclusion

  • When errors prevent transports from being created, memory was
    not allocated to store transport address information and error
    checking was not in place so the code would try to free memory
    which was never allocated which caused a program exception.
    
    Code was corrected to check the error code and not attempt to
    free what was not allocated.
    
    The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
    fix packs 8.5.5.11 and 9.0.0.2.  Please refer to the
