We just opened APAR OA25468 against z/OS UNIX. If you run with REFRPROT
in PROGxx, you can be hit by this.
IIUC, z/OS UNIX fork processing uses the OC instruction, while in PSW
key zero, to WRITE on EVERY PAGE of EVERY MODULE in the private area of
the address space! (Who designed this???!)
That's the scary part. Now page down to the bottom to see the funny part
-- especially suggestion #2.
|LOCAL FIX:
|1. Refrain from using the PROGxx REFRPROT parm. if possible.
|
|2. Re-link the affected module so it is not using the
| REFRESHABLE attribute.
Yeah. Sure. How many modules in typical z/OS system are linked REFR? :-D
