I haven't had the need to study a system trace in which both sets of  
operands were non-zero, but I have seen the results of a MVCL that clears  
storage 
with a second operand of zero length.  There is a page fault traced  for every 
4K in the slab of storage being cleared.  The translation  exception address 
that shows up in the trace increases by X'1000' in each such  traced page fault.
