Nathan............Yes, we have opened a problem with IBM on this - they have
multiple dumps, code, adsm files, and problem reports from us regarding this
situation.  Most of these problems occur when using the command line
interface.  If you execute the same commands via the GUI, many of the
problems with Dr. Watsons, hanging sessions, and aborted sessions are
circumvented.  We have also submitted for a 'Requirements Request'
concerning this...........Bill
