****************************************************************
When running on Windows, it is possible that a temporary file
created by WebSphere Application Server can remain locked
after it is released (closed). An existing Java bug is
suspected as the cause; see
http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6213298
This prevents the application server from deleting the file.

Problem conclusion

A workaround has been implemented which causes the application
server to retry the file deletion up to 60 times in a loop.
After each failed attempt, a Java garbage collection is
requested followed by a sleep of 50 milliseconds.

The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
fix pack 8.5.5.13 and 9.0.0.7.  Please refer to the Recommended
