@Jim and @Chris, I think you have it. Thanks! Yes, the task has an STIMERM
exit that POSTs one of the ECBs and there is some evidence to indicate that
the ABEND is at least approximately when the timer should have popped.

SRBs and termination do not seem to be likely participants.

The interesting thing is that the application was running perfectly for some
time and only started doing this after the customer applied RSU1606. It has
since started doing it "a lot."

On to a real dump! No, the LE dump does not include a trace table.

  That's a good guess. I think by the time LE's ESTAE gets control, the
timer exit IRB would be gone.
LE might be going back two RBs (skipping over  the RTM2 SVRB) to fetch the
PSW it is displaying,

  Other possibilities would be that an ancestor TCB got the 202 abend and is
terminating, and
RTM2 is detaching a waiting subtask, under which LE's ESTAE took this dump.

  Or an SRB did the POST that got the 202 abend, and SRB-to-task percolation
is ABTERMing this waiting task.
