DSMC BACKUP ABENDS 4.11 NOVELL SERVERS

Hello,

Has anyone else encountered this problem?
We have three major production Novell 4.11 Servers.  They all have Novell 
Support Pack 6, and DSMC client Version 3, Release 1, Level 1.3.  We have been 
using DSMC backup on our Novell servers for a couple of years now, but 
beginning this past February, all three servers have been abending.  The 
average frequency is about once a month, the abend message is always "Free 
called with a memory block that has a null resource tag" and the running 
process is DSMC.NLM.  The abend occurs shortly after the scheduled backup 
begins.

We also have another problem with DSMC that started a month or so ago.  After 
typing "quit" to end a DSMC session, the session hangs on the Novell server 
console.  This problem began in the same timeframe we implemented IWSP6, so 
possibly could be related.  Has anyone had the same experience with either of 
these issues?
