Local fix

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  USERS AFFECTED:

  Linux managing queue managers created with earlier version of
  MQ.
  
  
  Platforms affected:
  Linux on x86-64

  PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
  Several warning messages related to the attributes
  MQCA_INITIAL_KEY and MQCA_SSL_KEY_REPO_PASSWORD were displayed
  in the below format when MQ Explorer was accessed via Linux
  console:
  
  Attribute 2055(MQCA_SSL_KEY_REPO_PASSWORD)missing from type
  table (2) for object xxx_XX
  Attribute 2054(MQCA_INITIAL_KEY)missing from type table (2) for
  object xxx_XX
  Attribute 2055(MQCA_SSL_KEY_REPO_PASSWORD)missing from type
  table (2) for object xyz_XX
  Attribute 2054(MQCA_INITIAL_KEY)missing from type table (2) for
  object xyz_XX
  
  One of these lines was output for each of these 2 attributes,
  for each queue manager manager by the Explorer that was created
  with an earlier version of MQ - for instance at 9.3 LTS or
  earlier. This was because the 9.3 CD Explorer was inquiring the
  values of these properties - introduced at 9.3 CD - however the
  older queue manager did not know about these properties, and so
  these warning messages were returned. These do not cause any
  errors - there is simply no information to display for these
  properties. This issue only occurred on Linux, as Windows did
  not write any messages like this to the console.
  

Problem conclusion

• These warning messages are no longer written to the Linux
  console - their content is still available if the explorer is
  run with trace enabled, as these lines will now be written
  there. There may still be messages written to the console like:
  
  (:329942): Gtk-CRITICAL **: 02:53:26.329:
  gtk_box_gadget_distribute: assertion 'size >= 0' failed in
  GtkScrollbar
