Local fix Problem summary
****************************************************************
* USERS AFFECTED: WebSphere Application Server users who use   *
*                 the distributed replication service          *
*                 PUSH-PULL mode.                              *
****************************************************************
* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: The Dynamic Cache's Push-Pull table     *
*                      is growing too big because the          *
*                      table is not being cleaned up in two    *
*                      cases.                                  *
****************************************************************
* RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
****************************************************************
The Dynamic Cache's Push-Pull table is not being cleaned up in
the following cases when running Push-Pull mode:
1. After fetching the cache entry from the peer server, the
cache id is not removed from the Push-Pull table.
2. When performing the dependency id invalidation, the cache
ids associated with dependency id in the memory are not
removed from the Push-Pull table.
Problem conclusion
This fixes the memory leak in Dynamic cache caused by DRS
Push-Pull table not being cleaned up.

The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion
in 5.02.14, 5.1.1.8 and 6.0.2.5.
