Local fix
Problem summary
The problem is caused when a native library requires the stack point to be 16-byte aligned but it is called by JVM without a properly aligned stack pointer.
Problem conclusion
The JVM has been updated to ensure the stack pointer is 16-byte aligned when it calls external native libraries. . This APAR will be fixed in the following Java Releases: 8 SR2 FP10 (8.0.2.10) . Contact your IBM Product's Service Team for these Service Refreshes and Fix Packs.
