Thanks for the suggestion ...  ;-)

As it happens, given our outage last week, today I took a dump including 
*master*, PCAUTH, RASP, ALLOCAS so I could fill some free time finding out 
what/who may have contributed. And yes, I *am* aware ISVs get wild and loose in 
ASID 0001.
Unfortunately a CICS SOS dump got in the way.

Maybe tomorrow ...
