When I was in support many years ago, many times customers would call asking
us about an S40D or S0DC abends - "it just went away!"  (For the peanut
gallery, the problem is that there is no more left in below-the-line private
to acquire LSQA for the RTM control blocks.)  

I've lost track of the times I've told people why 0M is a bad idea for a
server-type program, and in general is a bad idea.   

A couple of weeks ago, I had to explain this to one of our developers, who
has gray hair/beard (but I don't know about the hairy chest).

Later,
Ray
