Problem conclusion

  • ResetPublicRenderParameterUtil calculated the size of the new
    merged public render parameter array by the amount of render
    parameters present, rather than the amount of values for a
    given public parameter key. This has been corrected.
    
    The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
    fix pack 7.0.0.5.  Please refer to the Recommended Updates
