is this generally true? I seem to remember someone saying that
you can do that in the UK (and elsewhere), so this may be region
dependent...

I thought that the LIC was in write-protected memory, and therefore
cannot be altered by a program. This being one of the main reasons
for the "stability" of the AS/400. The other reason being that the
invocation stack is not the "real" stack used by the task management.
If this is true, then how can a program alter the LIC?
