I suffered a similar problem with Linkage Editor SYSPRINT.  IBM fixed
it by A{AR.

I conjecture that the defective code had cleared a buffer with XC then
populated it sparsely.  And that the output was tested on a 3211-like
printer that tolerated the flaw.

Such things reinforce my objection to Postel's Robustness Principle,
which assisted in the escape of the defect to the field.
