They're so much fun, aren't they :-)

Next RCLSTG should be normal.  This first one took ages because all your DB
files needed to be converted to the new V5R1 format.

They'll stay gone, don't worry.

Oh good, someone else is having this problem.  Let me know what it is when
you've found it.  Our system seems to stay around 30 gigs although it did
peak as high as 40.  An IPL or end to restricted state will fix this, but it
goes flying back up once the system is going again.  IBM have been looking
at it since October last year with no joy.  Been doing iDoctor traces etc.
with no luck, so I'm very interested if you can solve it !  Can you please
email me off the list with more details of your machine config so we can
compare notes etc.
