  ERROR DESCRIPTION:
  The GUI option OPTFILE is not recognized from the ADSM client.
  To recreate:
  1. Create an additional option file, e.g. dsm.test
  2. Start the ADSM GUI with optfile parameter, dsm -optfile=dsm.t
  est
  3. The 'normal' option file dsm.opt is used instead of dsm.test
  It looks like this option is completely disregarded within the
  code.


  LOCAL FIX:
  Specify the option file using the DSM_CONFIG variable.
