I seem to remember a similar red alert last year for all the then =
supported zOS releases. I'm surprised this popped up again under zOS =
1.11.

Abstract:
A logic error in the base TCPIP code of z/OS 1.11 can cause applications
=
using ASYNCIO Writes to be driven twice. This can affect various =
applications and subsystems using z/OS TCPIP ASYNCIO on the sending =
side, such as Websphere MQ, JES and non-IBM products.

Description:
A logic error in TCPIP on z/OS 1.11 can cause applications using ASYNCIO
=
Writes to be driven twice. The application data presented on the socket
=
write operation is sent over the TCP connection twice, thus corrupting =
the data stream. This can affect various applications and subsystems =
using z/OS TCPIP ASYNCIO on the sending side, such as Websphere MQ, JES
=
and non-IBM products. Please see APAR PM08514 for the details and =
symptoms that may result.=20

Recommended Action:
All z/OS 1.11 users should install the APAR fix for PM08514 that is =
currently available from IBM Support. This APAR does not apply to prior
=
z/OS releases.=20

It is the same thing.

We were talking with IBM on Friday and ...
