Why are you whining, then? ;-) Regards, Richard Schuh

We had MPROUTE hang last week. It was due to *something* in our network which caused our MTU to change and MPROUTE to hang. Workaround fix (before PK20644 closes) is to code MTU on the LINK statements (instead of just in the MPROUTE CONFIG) and to apply: CMS VM63819 - LONG RUNNING C APPLICATION HITS OUT-OF-STORAGE ABEND CONDITION UM31618 R510 UM31619 R520 . LE APARS (For ALL z/VM R440/R510/R520 systems - same PTF all releases) VM63690- MPROUTE HANGS AFTER IOCTL() ABEND UM31365 . VM63755 - NEW FUNCTION IN Z/VM LE UM31521 . VM63778 - MPROUTE NOT RESPONDING TO COMMANDS FROM AUTHORIZED USER UM31470 . VM63507 - VARIOUS ABENDS WHEN NON-LE CODE USES AN LE STACK FRAME UM31245 . VM63795 - LE-BASED APPLICATION HANGS AFTER RECOVERABLE ABEND UM31480 (just 2 of those weren't on my 5.2.0 system with rsu 501). Apparently, this is also a 5.1.0 problem too - we just haven't seen it on our 5.1.0 systems. Other than that bad day, everything's been chugging right along (and performing very nicely). (Operations commented that a "bad switch" in the network caused problems on lots of things - that was as much as I've been able to find out).

Alyce, what you aren't hearing about are all the sites that have z/VM 5.2 running with *no* problems; as stable as previous releases. Yes, there are a *few* sites that are having stability problems, but we are addressing them rapidly and with good results. So at this point, no, we have no plan to extend service for z/VM 4.4, but it is an interesting idea in any event, and it's something we'll think more about.
