Well, nobody replied, so it must be a new problem.  For our z/OS 1.9 rollout 
attempt yesterday, it was a show-stopper.  The effect on end-users is that 
they are unable to connect to the system at all.

Empirical evidence suggests that this situation affects only tn3270 clients 
assigned to an LU pool for which we don't specify a default LOGAPPL.  This is 
consistent with IBM's analysis so far of our dump from last week, in which 
they have determined that the abending task was trying to send the 
USSMSG10 buffer to the connecting client.  Adding to the puzzle is the fact 
that clients assigned to an LU pool that -does- have a default LOGAPPL can, 
upon exit from that application, display the (same) USSMSG10 without problem.

I'll try to keep the list updated with progress from our PMR.
