You normally have RACFSMF in place, preventing SMF CONTROL from ever 
having a 1 in it in since both SMF disks never fill up at the same time). 
I mean, it's no guarantee, since there's no guarantee that RACFSMF will be 
successful in copying the SMF log to its own A-disk and archive.  (If the 
copies fail, the originals aren't erased.)
