I didn't know that.  Is it documented anywhere?

The 4K range from 00000000 - 00000FFF is key 0 storage and, as such,

Look in the z/Arch book (Principles) for LAP. It even prevents authorized 
programs from writing into the "PSA".

[Low Address Protection ?]

You have to set the LAP bit off in a CR to be able to update that area.
