  01.RDz 9.0.1 is unable to connect to host using SSL enabled
     connection following 9.0.1 upgrade.
     The protection exception occurred in gsk_attribute_get_enum.
  02.Daemon IVP returns no response.
  03.NullPointerException in ServerCommandHandler.getMiner
     occurred in RSE base. This may cause RDz client not to show
     the lock owner of the datase correctly.
  

Problem conclusion

• 01.The problem is caused by invalid parameter allocation in
     invoking gsk_attribute_get_enum API. Now, the parameters are
     allocated correctly in invoking gsk_attribute_get_enum API.
  02.Daemon shutdowns the daemon socket after sending the
     connected message. On the other hand, the Daemon IVP is
     changed to connect to a Server port after getting the
     connected message. These actions are not macthed owing to
     the IVP logic. Now, IVP is changed to work normally
     regardless of the Daemon's situations.
  03.Now, RDz server program is change not to utilize RSE base in
     handling the query lock owner.
