*                      updating other properties.              *

* RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
****************************************************************
On the admin console, application servers' environment
variables are overwritten to null or other appserver
environment values after updating other appserver properties.

Example on how to reproduce problem:
WAS setup with 2 appservers A and B
1. On ServerA General tab, change env var to {foo,bar}, click
   OK, click APPLY
2. go to ServerB, DO NOT open Environment Editor on ServerB, go
   directly to JVM Settings tab, change java heap size, click
   APPLY
3. go to ServerB General tab, open Environment Editor, whatever
   values B had are gone, values now {foo,bar}
Problem conclusion
This fix corrects the problem so when updating other system
properties like JVM heap size, application server environment
variable values will stick and not get overwritten.
Temporary fix
packaged test eFix for customer, waiting for feedback
