V2R1 Bug Bites us at V5R2

Hi,

The good news is that V5R2 is a really great release, and I would encourage
you to go to it as soon as it reasonable.

The bad news is that because of a bug in the V2R1 RPG compiler, and because
of a change to Level 40 security effective in V5R2, your programs compiled
in V5R2 may need to be recompiled.  The bug manifests itself with a runtime
MCH6801.  The only circumventions are:

   Go back to level 30 - I don't recommend this
   Recompile the programs in any release other than V2R1.  They could be
   recompiled before or after V2R1, even on a System/38 (if you happen to
   have one hanging around)

This was obscurely documented in the Memo to Users for V2R2.  Be sure to
run out and check yours immediately.
