cases where it is not feasible to move to a later version of supported
Java, customers are advised to contact IBM to evaluate other options.
All users of java-1.4.2-ibm are advised to upgrade to these updated
packages, which contain the IBM J2SE 1.4.2 SR13-FP14 release. All running
instances of IBM Java must be restarted for this update to take effect
