Another thought is you could open an PMR/SR with IBM.  They cannot work on new 
issues unless they get $$$
But they should be able to look at the error and tell you if there is a ptf 
already available to address the error.

Just a thought.

Maybe John Ells can comment on IBM being able to review the error.


The other idea I had was to use the 
http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/
Developerworks.  Might be more PL/I users over there
