Error description
During normal operation of the WebSphere Server, the user may
see message 'BBOO0040E' in the output of the WebSphere Control
Region.  If this message is preceeded by a trace entry that
indicates a 'SSL Return Code: 437' then the BBOO0040E message
can be ignored.
The SSL return code 437 is issued as a 'normal return code' when
a SSL V3.0 or TLS V1.0 close notify alert message is received,
the gsk_secure_socket_read() with return a
'GSK_ERR_CONNECTION_CLOSED(437)' indicating that all data has
been sent by the partner application and no more data will be
sent over the connection.

Local fix
If the BBOO0040E message is preceeded by a SSL Return Code: 437
then the BBOO0040E message can be safely ignored, as in the

"BBOO0040E Function read() failed ..." error messages and
related exception traces are being issued for SSL socket

messages and exception trace entries will be removed.
