I had guessed that an APF-authorized but otherwise "ordinary" program running with Key 8 would be able to issue an SPKA with an "address" of xxxxxx8x in problem state without getting a S0C2. I appear to have guessed wrong. I just wanted to do a reality check to make sure I had not fat-fingered something: typically a program in Key 8 does *not* have a PSW-key-mask bit of one for SPK 8 in Control Register 3? Is that correct?
Just out of curiosity -- why would that be? Why not let a program set its SPK back to its original state?
