This appears to be caused by a small timing window which can
create the ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException.
This occurs in very rare situation.

****************************************************************
* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Application server fails to start       *
*                      due to ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException   *
*                      originating in RMM.                     *
****************************************************************
* RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
****************************************************************
When starting an application server, ArrayIndexOutOfBounds may
occur due to a small timing window in RMM code. This will
cause the JVM to panic and terminate.

Problem conclusion

Code was changed to eliminate the timing window which causes
this exception.

The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
fix packs 7.0.0.33, 8.0.0.9 and 8.5.5.2.  Please refer to the
