Folks:
  Thanks for all the responses!

  In this case, the culprit was my co-worker, who didn’t realize that I was 
working on the issue, and issued a pair of “DELETE VOLUME” commands that 
ultimately resulted in the messages below. 

  Somewhat disturbing, though, that the only record was the ANR2017I messages 
documenting the command issuance…
