Both WAIT and EVENTS wait on ECBs. Somebody has to post an ECB after a time
intveral expires. WAIT and EVENTS do the waiting, but not the posting.

RESMGR and DIE both require authorized programs. The client program isn't
authorized. Although I could use the started task, which is authorized, to
finagle something in the client (via an SRB or something), I would prefer to
have a method that doesn't require APF authorization.

The best solution at this point continues to be an error handler in the
server that walks through the request list posting all ECBs that it's
crashing. The obvious problem with this is that if the request list is bad,
and an access to it caused an 0C4, walking through it to post all of the
ECBs probably isn't going to work out very well.

But I can't think of a better solution at this point, without going through
a lot of work to attach another task in the client that does nothing but
keep up with timeouts.

All? What about the WAIT or EVENTS macro?
