wow, somebody who can find APARs, thanks, and somebody who bothered to report 
this issue.

now, all I'm wondering about.... IBM will probably change the message, not the 
threshold. I don't see why we need 1 GB of free space in the default database 
directory, there is still almost nothing in there. The db2 database metadata is 
not that large, nor are the TSM server configuration files, and neither of them 
have a tendency to grow.
