Here are the notes in the status log I keep for my open PMRs.  My
business partner is theoretically nudging support too.

   62069 442 000: Crash in journal-based-backup.  Crashed TSM2!
        2006-08-09: opened
        2006-08-12: POssible fix. D'oh, crashed usenet!
        2006-09-18: Here's a development library. Give it a shot
        2006-09-19: D'oh, crashed usenet!  Back in development again.
        2006-09-17: D'oh, crashed usenet!  Back in development again.
        3006-10-04: Got the new version in, seems to be OK.
        2006-10-07: D'oh, crashed usenet!  Grumble.
        2006-10-10: Not a filepath problem; punt to AIX.
        2006-10-10: No, it's a filepath problem.  Back in development.
        2006-10-18: No particular update.
        2006-10-25: No particular update.

After the first crash, the box I offered up is our USENET server.
While technically a production service, it presents the least
disruption of any box we might choose to crash; so I'm willing to try
experimental stuff on it.  The first time, it got my TSM server
hardware, with all 10 TSM server processes on it.  I was Not Pleased
at that point, I tell you. ;)

Ran the code uneventfully for a few weeks on a test box before we got
to this point.
