Subject: [ADSM-L] Issue on TSM server: Help!



Hello Everyone!

I have a production TSM 5.2.4.5 on AIX 5.2 and am having issues with the
server recycling itself.  Last night it completely hung and I had messages
in the dsmserv.err file similar to the one's I am seeing below:

03/21/2006 08:18:42  ANR9999D Invalid attempt to free memory (invalid
header); c
alled from 10020e95c (aftxn.c (643)).
03/21/2006 08:27:00  ANR9999D Invalid attempt to free memory (invalid
header); c
alled from 10020e95c (aftxn.c (643)).

Would anyone happen to know what might be causing this issue?  Would anyone
happen to know what could be done to fix this issue?  Thanks in advance!
