****************************************************************
* USERS AFFECTED: All WebSphere Application Server users       *
*                 of Domino WebServer                          *
****************************************************************
* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Domino overwrites buffer when           *
*                      receiving data greater than 64k.        *
****************************************************************
* RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
****************************************************************
The read body function in the Domino plugin failed to make use
of the length parameter passed to it.  As a result, if data
is uploaded that is greater than the buffer size (64k) when
the memcpy function is called the buffer is overwritten and
unexpected behavior would result.
Problem conclusion
A change was made to the Domino plugin so that it does not
pass back a buffer greater than 64k. The remaining data will
be read in chunks of 64k.
