Error description

Customer runs a J2EE application client in the USS shell but
needs a larger JAVA HEAP than can be accomodated by the 31bit
JVM. So, the customer begins to use the 64bit JVM for this
application. The application fails to start. Several LE messages
are issued and a CEEDUMP is produced.

For diagnosis:
(*) The customer had to
    export _CEE_RUNOPTS="HEAPCHK(ON,1,0,15,0) TERMTHDACT(UAIMM)
    TRAP(ON,NOSPIE)"  -- in client shell script
    (HEAPPOOLS was turned off)
(*) set a SLIP for the U40xx ABEND generated from the storage
    damage detection. User XXXZZZ is the userid used to log on
    to USS....
    SET,A=SVCD,C=U40xx,ID=5111,JOBNAME=XXXZZZ*,SDATA=(PSA,CSA,LP
    A,LSQA,RGN,SQA,SUM,SWA,TRT,ALLNUC,GRSQ),ENABLE,END

Examination of the SVCDUMP produced by SLIP shows some LE HEAP
header information is getting clobbered by the value 0x0AC70A03.
This overlay byte pattern is consistent and appears numerous
times in the dump.  The same value appears in multiple dumps.
-
This value happens to be an IP address. The value appears to
overlay the first word of a heap element prefix. Using the LE
Heap Trace information in the dump it is possible to see who
allocated the preceeding element. In multiple dumps, the
preceeding heap element was obtained by the
following stack:
CELQLIB ....CELQVGHP
CELQDCPP....operator new(unsigned long)
CELQDCPP....operator new..(unsigned long)
BBGORB  ....setHostAndPort(char*&,unsigned short&,hostent*&)
BBGORB  ....InitialReferences_Impl::InitialReferences_Impl()
BBGORB  ....CORBA::ORB::BOA_init(int&,char**,char*)
BBGBOA  ....Java_com_ibm_ws390_orb_ORB_BOA_1init
*PATHNAM....RUNCALLINMETHOD
*PATHNAM....gpProtectedRunCallInMethod
*PATHNAM....signalProtectAndRunGlue
*PATHNAM....j9sig_protect
*PATHNAM....gpCheckCallin
*PATHNAM....callStaticVoidMethod
*PATHNAM....main
CELQLIB ....CELQINIT
-
The method setHostAndPort() is computing a buffer size wrongly,
and storing the IP Address past the end of the buffer causing
the damage.

****************************************************************
WebSphere Application Server for z/OS address spaces or client
containers may terminate with the following error along with a
CEEDUMP:

"CEE0802C HEAP STORAGE CONTROL INFORMATION WAS DAMAGED."

This problem is due to a storage overlay in code that stores IP
addresses.

Problem conclusion

Code was changed to properly allocate memory for the structures
that store the IP addresses.

APAR PK73924 is currently targeted for inclusion in Service
Level (Fix Pack) 6.1.0.22 of WebSphere Application Server V6.1
for z/OS.
