Local fix

Problem summary

• This problem is caused due to a JIT bug in register shuffling,
  wherein the register copy is placed incorrectly, prior to the
  current instruction. This is functionally incorrect as registers
  freed as part of a shuffle can be allocated elsewhere and
  subsequently get clobbered as part of the register copy. The
  problem affects all Z systems (zLinux & zOS) and does not effect
  any other CPU architecture.
  

Problem conclusion

• The JIT has been updated to correctly order the register copy as
  well as eliminate the use of GPR0 across instructions that use
  memory references
  .
  This APAR will be fixed in the following Java Releases:
   8 SR6 FP5 (8.0.6.5)
  .

  Refreshes and Fix Packs.
