The WebSphere Application Server for z/OS Controller suffers an
ABEND0C4/ABENDS0C4.  The ABEND is reported from the
BOSS_IOR::convert_ior_octets method.

The stack traceback of the ABENDed thread will resemble the
following:

 20767c28   00001df0   BOSS_IOR::convert_ior_octets(un...)
 20767268   000003f2   BOSS_IOR::convert_in_place(SEQU...)

 1fb9d900   00000086   BBOST_Transactions::Coordinator
 2082d568   00002b4e   threadDispatch(BOSS_Object_Key*...)

The ABEND0C4/ABENDS0C4 may cause the active transaction
to fail due to a CORBA::MARSHAL exception with minor code
C9C20CFC.
Problem conclusion
Corrected the demarshaling error that caused the
ABEND0C4/ABENDS0C4.
