S33E may or may not be an error depending on what the developer intended - it 
is quite common to see it (and ignore it) when an address space is terminating.

It basically means that a TCB has been DETACHed before it had completed 
processing - and the main reason for this will be those TCBs that are ATTACHed 
without an "end-of-task" exit routine (EOT) or that have not POSTed their 
completion ECB before being DETACHed by their mother task.

Using an EOT routine allows the developer to inform the mother task that a 
daughter has completed processing and that it can be DETACHed - and typically 
the EOT will POST some ECB that the mother is waiting on.

In a multi-tasking environment, a generic task could communicates using the 
following ECB setup :

        TASK_START_ECB
        TASK_WFW_ECB
        TASK_TERM_ECB
        TASK_DETACH_ECB

(o) Mother attaches daughther and then waits for daughter to post TASK_START_ECB
(o) Daughter waits on TASK_WFW_ECB and TASK_TERM_ECB
(o) TASK_WFW_ECB is posted by mother to indicate daughter has something to do 
(WFW = Wait for work)
(o) TASK_TERM_ECB is posted by mother when stopping daughter
(o) TASK_DETACH_ECB is posted by EOT exit when daughter completes
(o) Mother waits on TASK_DETACH_ECB during daughter shutdown before issuing 
DETACH
