Yes, I set a symbol to the desired TCB address and then the analysis proceeds 
correctly.

It's a client's system, so I look at what I am given. Anyway, I found the bad 
branch from the BEAR, a routine address in an internal control block had been 
stomped on. By what and when remains a mystery.

Thanks for clarifying. Could you select / re-select the Address space (other 
TCB?) to be used in your dump analysis?

SDWARC4. Hmmm, I now rememeber. EREP does show the Breaking-Event-Address 
Register.

Could you get any info from Logrec?
