Problem summary

****************************************************************
* USERS AFFECTED:  IBM WebSphere Application Server Edge Load  *
*                  Balancer for ipv4 and ipv6 users            *
****************************************************************
* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Errors occur during communication       *
*                      between the dsserver java process and   *
*                      the executor.                           *
****************************************************************
* RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
****************************************************************
This apar is relevent if you see failures in the server.log
that look like :
<timestamp> ULB failed <cmd>, exception =
com.ibm.ws.loadbalancer.stack.LBStackResponseException: key:
<key> action: <action> rc: <rc>
The important part of the message is the key/action/rc
portion. If the message shows "sendNativeCmdBuf failed" after
the exception, this fix does not apply.

Problem conclusion

The code between the dsserver java process and the executor
was not synchronized so commands could be interrupted and data
could change which would cause the interrupted command to fail.

Fix affects the Load Balancer for ipv4 and ipv6 only.
Fix levels :
   7.0.0.42
   8.0.0.13
   8.5.5.11
   9.0.0.2

Temporary fix
