    Bug Fix(es):

    * When Transparent Huge Pages (THP) are unconditionally enabled on a system, Java applications using many     threads were found to have a large Resident Set Size (RSS). This was due to a race between the kernel     transforming thread stack memory into huge pages and the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) shattering these pages     into smaller ones when adding a guard page. This release resolves this issue by getting glibc to insert a     guard page and prevent the creation of huge pages. (RHEL-13928)
