Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED:                                              *
  * All users of GH Tester                                       *

  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:                                         *
  * If an iterator sends thousands of messages then GH Tester    *
  * can hang and become unresponsive.                            *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  * This problem cannot be reproduced in Rational Integration    *
  * Tester 8.5.1 so long as the following JVM argument has been  *
  * configured in Library Manager:                               *
  *                                                              *
  * -Dcom.ghc.ghTester.gui.console.trim=true                     *
  *                                                              *
  * This setting was introduced in GH Tester 5.4.0 and carried   *
  * forward into Rational Integration Tester where further       *
  * improvements have been made.  When this value is set Tester  *
  * will automatically delete older console events which         *
  * prevents memory shortages.                                   *
