We ran into the problem with 5.2.3.4 as well.  One of our servers crashed
after we upgraded to 5.2.3.4 within a couple of days.  We have installed it
on about six or seven servers total. Then we tracked the issue with
IBM/Tivoli support for a few days and found that 5.2.3.4 was the issue.
But we have only seen the one crash.

So, after looking at our options, we are continuing to run with 5.2.3.4 and
will upgrade to 5.2.3.5 more or less right away when it debuts.

The one change we made was to the server the crashed, as a work-around we
increased our "Resource Timeout" value from one-hour to two-hours.

I didn't want to have to down-grade install everything, and then upgrade
again right away.  So  we decided that since there was only one crash to
just plan for 5.2.3.5 in the next few weeks.

We too ran 5.2.3.4 for 3 weeks before crashing once actually on 11/10.
Once we heard that the patch was pulled from the site & fix wasn't due out
until 11/22 we opted to go back to 5.2.3.3 for our environment.

Charles,

We ran at 5.2.3.4 for about 3 weeks before we experienced our first
crash.

I've been searching IBM's Web for IC43445... And no hits, we just
updated two AIX TSM servers to 5.2.3.4... Are we screwed?

Thanks

The only dumb question is the one that goes unasked.
The command line is your friend.
"Good enough" is the enemy of excellence.
