RE: Mysterious MCH3601 errors at V4R3M0

Interesting.  We have been having a problem with mysterious MCH3601 errors
also on V4R1.  The following is an example:

Pointer not set for location referenced.                      
Internal failure in compiler or subroutine.                   
Application error.  RNX9998 unmonitored by QRNXIE at statement  0000000016,
instruction X'0000'.       

There are a couple of other examples where the program is QRNXIO that looked
like they were related the use of a multi-member file.  The example above,
however, does not involve a multi-member file.

There are two interesting things about this.  First, when a multi-member
file is involved, we have determined that a WRITE operation to the
multi-member file followed by a READ or READE operation to another file
causes the crash.  The second is that converting from RPGIV to RPGIII solves
the problem.
