Local fix

Problem summary

• The problem is caused by a codegen level optimization where the
  JIT codegen tries to simplify memory load-and-store. This
  optimization is not designed to work in case the loaded memory
  content is an unresolved Java object field. Doing so leads to
  JIT segmentation faults.
  

Problem conclusion

• The JIT compiler has been updated to prevent the crash from
  occurring when simplifying load-and-store operations on the
  z/Architecture in Java8 SR5.
  .
  This APAR will be fixed in the following Java Releases:
   8 SR5 FP20 (8.0.5.20)
  .
