I'm busy analysing yet another puzzling problem. There is a program that seems 
to be in a recovery loop, yet this does not yet make much sense. I've got an 
SVCDUMP and am having a look at the system trace. 
I see the following pattern to repeat:
*PGM 00A*RCVY PROG*SVC D*RCVY ESTA*RCVY ESTR
After the program check 00A (PGM 00A) the program check interrupt handler is 
invoked (RCVY PROG). It hands over to the ESTAE routine (SVC D and RCVY ESTA). 
Finally, the ESTAE routine decides to retry (RCVY ESTR).

The attached file has some extracts of the system trace. What puzzled me was 
the fact that I can see tons of IARV64 PAGEFIX entries after the "SVC D", 
followed by tons of "IARV64 PAGEOUT and IARV64 PAGEUNFIX" entries. And it takes 
0.08 seconds (!!) until the ESTAE routine gets control (RCVY ESTA). 

I then recognized the "SysTrace Snapshot" trace entry just before the long 
series of IARV64 entries starts.

The only question I have for the moment is: Are those IARV64 entries related to 
saving the system trace table frames for all processors as part of recovery 
processing to invoke the ESTAE? If so, I can ignore them since the are not part 
of the problem.
