Problem summary
****************************************************************
* USERS AFFECTED: WebSphere Application Server 4.0 Advanced    *
*                 and Single Server editions installing a Fix  *
*                 on UNIX that was built with the 1.41 version *
*                 of the Update Installer.                     *
****************************************************************
* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: The macro was not being resolved when   *
*                      a Fix was trying to determine the       *
*                      value of the $JAVA_HOME environment     *
*                      variable.                               *
****************************************************************
* RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
****************************************************************
If the developer built a Fix that required a change to be made
to a file in the $JAVA_HOME directory the macro resolution
would not resolve the value for JAVA_HOME from the
setupCmdLine.sh file correctly.  The value of JAVA_HOME is
typically set to $WAS_HOME/java.  This would cause a Fix to
be applied to the wrong location. During the Fix installation,
the installer would assume that $WAS_HOME was a directory not
an environment variable. Therefore the enviromnent variable was
not being replaced with the actual value.
Problem conclusion
The Installer was fixed to be case insensitive during the
macro resolution stage, and also to replace the value of the
environment variable with the actual value.
