Another variation on the theme:
On a 4.1.4.1 server here we see the 'log pinned' situation a LOT - very
heavily abused server.
One of the oddities is that once we clear the sessions, and do an
incremental db backup,
the log utilization doesn't drop until we issue an expire inventory command.

Shutdown and reboot both send a kill -15 to processes. TSM listens to this
