FW: Latest V4R2 Cum Tape

[Neil Palmer <npalmer@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

OOPS - The PTF from June 11th (MF19412) is ALSO marked PE (defective) -
see APAR MA18456
It appears the recent chain of TCP/IP Telnet PTF's are all defective:

  PE PTF List:    MF18740 MF18581 MF18971 MF19276 MF19412

The last 'SAFE' TCP/IP Telnet PTF for V4R2 appears to be MF18061
(available 98/01/23 - on cum package C8028420).

PROBLEM SUMMARY:
  The following message is issued repeatedly to an interactive
  subsystem causing the interactive subsystem monitor job to
  loop and the joblog to wrap:
 
     CPD4079 Program device XXXXXX already released from file
             in library
 
  MSGCPD4079 f/QDMRLSDV x/01CE or x/01E3
             t/QWTMCDVX x/01F1 or x/01FD
 
 
  PROBLEM CONCLUSION:
  This is a timing problem and will be corrected.
 
  CIRCUMVENTION:
  To avoid this loop end the Telnet servers, ENDTCPSVR *TELNET,
  prior to ending any interactive subsystem(s).
 
  If you are experiencing the loop;
  On a multiprocessor system - review the interactive subsystem
  joblog to identify the failing device(s) and vary the device
  off.
  On a single processor system, response time will be limited and
  an IPL may be necessary to recover.
