For that last ALLOC before the abend, are you allocating *less*
storage than the previous?  The occurrence number is assigned to
static storage, and does not change when storage for a based MODS is
reallocated.  Perhaps the program is abending because the occurrence
number points to an occurrence beyond the end of the allocated storage?
