  When a reusable ASID is reused, the instance number in the ASTE in
incremented.  So any attempt to dispatch (via the LASP instruction)
to the terminated ASID/Instance number combination, or any attempt to PTI,
SSAIR, or PR to it, will program check because the instance number for the 

terminated address space does not match in instance number in the ASTE
of the new address space.
