Instead of a CP ABEND when PAGE space runs out CP could terminate a 
virtual machine to free up memory/PAGE space.  I would much rather see 

*any* virtual machine terminate than have CP ABEND and terminate them all
.

There are lots of potential options/tuning knobs that could be devised to
 
aid CP in prioritizing/determining which virtual machine(s) to terminate.
