I would need to see a dump of the alleged abend to determine what you are seeing. The only time FREEMAIN stores into the storage being freed in when TRAPS NAME(IGVINITFREEMAIN) is enabled, and even then it does not store into whole pages which are being freed. And it would be unwise to PGSER PROTECT a partial page. And if FREEMAIN does get a 0C4 abend due to IGVINITFREEMAIN storing into a protected partial page, it handles that in its FRR as an anticipated condition, and does not dump or record to logrec, so this is transparent to the issuer of FREEMAIN.
